Foundation Starters · Game rules

Kings and Aces

Goal

Build the eight same-suit foundations from ace to king. Move all 104 cards onto them to win.

Starting layout

Use two decks. Start eight foundations with the aces and eight tableau columns with the kings. The remaining 88 cards form the stock.

How to play

Build tableau columns down in the same suit, moving only one exposed card at a time. Never refill an empty column. Draw one card onto the waste and play its top to a column or foundation. Turn the exhausted waste over once without shuffling. Do not withdraw foundation cards.
