Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Three cards are dealt to each of 34 tableau piles, with a 35th having the remaining two cards. Tableau piles are built up or down by same suit, and only single cards can be moved between piles. Empty tableau piles cannot be filled.

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