How to play

Three cards are dealt to eight tableau piles. These tableau piles are built down by rank regardless of suit. Empty piles cannot be filled - therefore all Kings are placed at the bottom of a pile during the initial dealing.

Cards are dealt from the talon three at a time, one to each of three waste piles. These cards can be moved to the tableau or foundations. No redeal is allowed.

The foundations are built up by rank, regardless of suit. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
