Goal
Build eight same-suit foundations from ace to king. Move all 104 cards onto them to win.
Starting layout
Use two decks. Deal seven columns of seven cards, alternating face-up and face-down cards with each top face up. Keep 55 cards in stock.
How to play
Build tableau columns down in the same suit. Move an exposed card or a descending same-suit group. Only a king or king-headed group may fill an empty column. Turn a newly uncovered top face up. Draw three cards at a time during the first stock pass, two during the second, and one during the third. Only the waste top is playable. Turn the exhausted waste over twice without shuffling; there is no fourth pass or foundation withdrawal.
