Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Twenty cards are dealt to twenty piles. An ace and a king of each suit is dealt to the foundation piles.

Cards from the tableau can be moved to foundations. The foundations that start from aces are built up by suit, while the foundations that start from kings are built down by suit.

Cards are dealt from the stock one at a time and are immediately moved to the tableau or foundation piles. Cards cannot be moved between tableau piles, and empty piles are filled from the stock immediately.

The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
