Antares

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

There are eight tableau piles, divided into two sets. The first set of tableau piles contains four piles, each with seven cards dealt to it, and are built down by alternate color, with only one card being moved at a time. The second set consists of four piles, with six cards dealt to each, and are built down by same suit, and cards can be moved regardless of sequence. Empty piles on the left stacks can be filled with any card, whereas piles on the right can only be filled with kings.

A sequence can be moved from one set to the other, regardless of whether it matches the rules of the piles it moved to, but in this case, the sequence cannot be moved further.

The foundations are built up by same suit, from ace to king. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
