Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Cards are dealt to thirteen piles of three cards each, and the other thirteen cards are dealt to the row above them. Building on these tableau piles is not allowed - cards can only be moved from the tableau to the foundations.

The foundations are built by same suit. The foundations can be built in any rank order, but all four foundations must have the same rank order. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
