How to play

This game is played with three stripped decks, including only the cards with a rank from six through king.

All of the cards are dealt to twelve piles of eight cards each. Tableau piles are built down by alternate color, and any valid sequence of cards can be moved between tableau piles. Any card or sequence can be moved to an empty pile.

The foundations are built up by same rank, with one pile for each rank from six through king. The order of suits of the cards in the foundations must be the same in each pile. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
