How to play

Eight cards are dealt to form eight tableau piles. These tableau piles are built by alternate color. A card may be moved to a tableau pile if it is the same rank or one rank lower than the card it's placed on top of. Any single card or an entire pile can be moved, but partial tableau stacks cannot be moved. Any card or sequence can fill an empty pile.

The top card of the talon is flipped face-up and can be moved to any valid tableau or foundation pile. No further cards from the talon can be viewed until after the current card has been moved.

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