Goal
Build the eight same-suit foundations from ace to king. Move all 104 cards onto them to win.
Starting layout
Use two decks. Seed eight foundations with the aces. Deal five single-card columns face up and nineteen cards to a reserve with only its top exposed. Keep 72 cards in stock.
How to play
Build tableau columns down in the same suit, moving exposed cards or ordered same-suit groups. The reserve top may enter a column or foundation; covered reserve cards are unavailable. Refill empty columns immediately from the reserve while it lasts; afterward any available card or valid group may fill a gap. Draw one waste card at a time and turn the waste over once without shuffling. Do not withdraw foundation cards.
