How to play

A card is dealt to each of eight tableau piles. Tableau piles are built up by rank, regardless of suit, turning the corner from king to ace as necessary. Only single cards can be moved between tableau piles, and empty piles can be filled by any card. A max of 13 cards is allowed in each tableau pile.

Cards are dealt from the stock one at a time, and can be moved to appropriate tableau piles. No redeal is allowed. The game is won if you manage to get all the cards to the tableau, forming eight piles of thirteen cards.
