Kingsdown Eights

Goal

Move all the cards to the foundations.

How to play

A single card is dealt to each of eight tableau piles, and four cards are dealt to each of eight reserves. The tableau piles are built down by alternate colors, and single cards can be moved between tableau piles. Any card can fill an empty tableau pile No building on the reserves is allowed - cards from the reserves can only be moved to foundations or the tableau.

When there are no moves left, you can deal four additional cards from the deck to each of the reserve piles.

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