Double Dot

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Eight cards are dealt to eight tableau piles, and the black aces and red deuces are dealt to the foundations. Tableau piles are built down by rank, regardless of suit, building by every other rank, wrapping from two to king or ace to queen as necessary. Any card can fill an empty pile.

Foundations are built up by same suit, by every other rank, wrapping in the same manner as necessary.

When there are no moves left, one card can be dealt to each tableau pile from the stock. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
