At a glance

Like Calculation, but with seventeen ranks, and the first stack is hearts only.

How to play

The one of hearts, and a two, three, and four are dealt to the foundations. Cards are dealt from the talon one at a time, and can be played to the foundations.

The four foundations build regardless of suit the following way: The first pile from One, by one. The second pile from Two, by two. The third pile from Three, by three. The fourth pile from Four, by four. 

1:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F T W
2:  2 4 6 8 A C E T 1 3 5 7 9 B D F W
3:  3 6 9 C F 1 4 7 A D T 2 5 8 B E W
4:  4 8 C T 3 7 B F 2 6 A E 1 5 9 D W
In all four foundations, the wizards represent a rank of 17, and a wizard is the last card played to close each foundation. Which wizard is played to which foundation does not matter.

Once on a stack, a card can only be moved onto a foundation. The game is won when all cards are moved to the foundations.
