Blind Patience

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

All of the cards in the tableau are dealt face down. Any face-down card can be left face-down or flipped face-up. Face-down cards cannot be moved but any card can be played on a face-down card. Face-up cards can be moved one at a time, and face-up cards are built down in sequence by alternating colors.

Cards from the talon are turned over to the waste pile, one at a time. You can move the leftmost card to the playing piles or the foundations. There is no redeal.
