Goal

Move all cards to the single foundation.

How to play

Cards are dealt to six tableau piles, two with eight cards and four with nine. Tableau piles can be built up or down by rank, regardless of suit, and only single cards can be moved between piles. Any single card can fill an empty tableau pile.

There is only one foundation, built up or down by rank, regardless of suit. The game is won if all cards are moved to this foundation in a single sequence.
