Goal
Build four same-suit foundations from ace to king using exposed tableau tops. Move all 52 cards onto the foundations to win.
Starting layout
Deal all 52 cards into eight columns holding three through ten cards. Alternate face-up and face-down cards, with every column ending face up. There is no stock.
How to play
Build down in alternating colors. Choose any face-up starting card and move every card covering it together, even if the tail is unordered or contains face-down cards. Only a king or a king-headed tail fills an empty column. Turn a newly exposed top card face up; hidden cards within a moved tail stay hidden.
