Four Colours

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Cards are dealt to four tableau piles, with each pile containing all the cards of a single suit. There are also three additional empty tableau piles. Tableau piles are built down by alternate color, and any valid sequence can be moved between piles.

There are four free cells, located above the first four tableau piles. Each free cell can only contain a card of the same suit as the tableau pile directly below it.

Foundations are built up by same suit from ace to king. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
