How to play

Three cards are dealt to each of eleven piles, the first one face-down, and the remaining two face-up. The piles are grouped into one set of three and the remaining eight.

Tableau piles are built down by alternate color. Only single cards can be moved between the tableau piles, and any card can fill an empty pile. However, under no circumstances can a card from the top three piles be moved to any of the remaining eight.

When there are no moves left, cards can be dealt from the talon one at a time, and moved to an appropriate tableau or foundation pile. No redeal is allowed.

The foundations are built up by same suit from ace to king. The game is won when all cards are moved to the foundations.
