Egyptian Pyramid

Goal

Build eight same-suit foundations from king, continuing ace, two and upward through queen. Complete all eight thirteen-card foundations with all 104 cards to win.

Starting layout

Use two decks. Deal nine independent face-up tableau cards in an inverted V and keep 95 cards in stock. The positions do not block one another.

How to play

Build tableau piles down by rank, regardless of suit, moving only one exposed card at a time. Only a waste card may fill an empty tableau position. Draw one card onto the waste and play its top to a tableau pile or foundation. There is no stock turnover and no foundation withdrawal.
