Doublets II

Goal

Move all cards to the single foundation.

How to play

Cards are dealt to twelve piles of four cards each, with only the top card of each pile face-up. Pairs of exposed cards in the tableau of the same rank can be moved to the foundation. Empty tableau piles can be filled with one of the remaining four cards from the talon. You win if all cards can be paired off.
