Avenue

Goal

Build eight same-suit foundations from ace to king. Move all 104 cards to the foundations to win.

Starting layout

Use two decks. Deal eight face-up columns of four cards; keep 72 cards in stock.

How to play

Build columns downward by rank, ignoring suit. Move exposed cards or descending groups. Only a king or king-headed group fills an empty column. Draw one card onto the waste; only its top is available. There is no redeal and no foundation withdrawal.
