Dolphin

Goal

Move all cards to the single foundation.

How to play

The cards are dealt to eight tableau piles, four with six cards and four with seven. No building on the tableau is allowed. The foundation is built up by rank, regardless of suit, wrapping from ace to king as needed. Any card can be used to start the foundation.

Move cards one at a time from the tableau to the foundation in sequence. There are four free cells. Cards from the tableau can be moved to them, but from the free cells, they can only be moved to the foundation later. The game is won if all the cards can be moved to the foundation in a single continuous sequence.
