Bastion

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Cards are dealt to ten piles of five cards each. The remaining two cards are dealt to two reserves. Tableau piles are built up or down by same suit, and only single cards can be moved between tableau piles. You can move cards from the reserve to the tableau or the foundations, and empty reserve piles can be used as free cells.

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