All in a Row

Also known as Quasar

Goal

Move all cards to the bottom in a single row.

How to play

The tableau is arranged in thirteen piles of four cards each. The row builds up or down by rank ignoring color and suit, wrapping around from King to Ace and from Ace to King.

There is no building on the tableau piles, and spaces are not filled. Only top cards from reach pile can be moved.

The first card in the bottom row can be arbitrarily selected from the top of any pile.

Playing tips

Plan carefully - one wrong move and you may never be able to untangle the mess.
