Goal
Build each jack foundation downward in suit to ace. Once its jack is placed, add one matching king and queen in its side spaces. Place all 104 cards in these eight groups to win.
Starting layout
Use two decks. Deal six face-up gridiron piles of one card each and keep 98 cards in stock. Each of eight foundation groups has a central jack pile and separate king and queen spaces.
How to play
Build the gridiron upward in suit using only the waste top. Never transfer between gridiron piles. Fill an empty pile with the waste top or the next stock card. Draw one card at a time onto the waste. Turn the exhausted waste over once without shuffling. Foundation cards cannot return to play.
