Idle Aces

Goal

Move all the cards to the foundations.

How to play

There are three sets of foundations. A king of each suit is dealt to the first set, and a two of each suit is dealt to the second set. The foundations with the kings are built down by same suit to ace, while the foundations with the twos are built up by same suit to king. The remaining ace of each suit, can be played in third set of foundations.

Cards are dealt from the talon one at a time, and can be moved to an appropriate foundation. Two redeals are allowed. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
