Cromwell

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Four cards are dealt to each of 26 tableau piles. Tableau piles are built down by suit, and any card or valid sequence of cards can be moved between tableau piles. Empty tableau piles cannot be filled.

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

Once during the game, any one card below the top of a fan may be drawn out and used on foundations or fan builds. Do this by moving the top card of the fan to the Draw pile.
