Goal
Move each complete thirteen-card same-suit run, king through ace, to a completion slot. Complete all four runs to win.
Starting layout
Deal seven face-up columns with 4, 3, 3, 4, 3, 3 and 4 cards. Keep 28 cards in stock. The open reserve and four completed-run slots start empty.
How to play
Build columns downward by rank, ignoring suit. Move a card or a descending same-suit group. Any available card or legal group fills an empty column. Park a card or suited group separately in the open reserve. Each deposited group remains accessible; its exposed suited tail may return to the tableau. Do not build onto reserve groups. Deal stock cards one to every column, including empty columns; no redeal.
