Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

The foundations build up by rank ignoring suit. At game start the four Aces are dealt here.

There is no building on the tableau piles - cards can only be moved to the foundations, and spaces are not filled.

When no more moves are possible, select the talon. One card will be added to each of the playing piles.
