Goal
Complete both sets of foundations with all 104 cards to win. A partial tableau run cannot enter a completion slot.
Starting layout
Use two decks. Deal nine columns of nine through one cards with only each top exposed. Keep 59 cards in stock. There are two different groups of four foundations.
How to play
Build columns down in alternating colors, moving exposed cards or ordered groups. Only a king or king-headed group fills a gap. Turn newly uncovered tops face up. Draw one waste card at a time, with no stock turnover. The first four foundations build ace to king in the same color, two red and two black. The other four accept only complete thirteen-card king-to-ace alternating-color runs, two headed by red kings and two by black kings. Do not withdraw foundation cards.
