Goal
Build eight foundations from ace to king by rank, ignoring suit, with thirteen cards each. Move all 104 cards onto them to win.
Starting layout
Use two decks. Deal twelve face-up columns of three cards. Keep 68 cards in stock with only the top card exposed; there is no waste.
How to play
Move one exposed card at a time. Build columns down by rank, regardless of suit. Choose the stock's exposed top card and play it directly to a legal column or foundation. Refill an empty column immediately from the stock. When the stock is empty, any available tableau top can fill a gap. Expose the next stock card after playing its top. There is no draw-discard action, turnover or foundation withdrawal.
