Goal
Complete four ace-to-king and four king-to-ace same-suit foundations, holding all 104 cards, to win.
Starting layout
Use two decks. Seed four ascending foundations with aces and four descending foundations with kings. Deal twelve single-card columns and keep 84 cards in stock.
How to play
Move tableau tops one rank up or down in the same suit, one card at a time. Do not link king and ace on the tableau. Empty columns refill immediately from stock; afterward any available tableau top can fill a gap. The stock action deals one card onto every column, including a final partial row. There is no waste, turnover or foundation withdrawal.
