Goal
Build the four same-suit foundations from ace to king with all 52 cards to win.
Starting layout
Seed four foundations with the aces. Deal one exposed row of eight tableau positions and keep forty cards in stock. New stock rows add eight positions below the existing rows, including a final partial row.
How to play
Only the first or last card in a column, or a card immediately above or below a vertical gap, can move to a foundation. Cards do not move between tableau positions; empty positions retain their locations. When a first-row card leaves, refill its position from stock while cards remain. Other gaps are not refilled. Deal a new row from stock when needed; there is no stock turnover or foundation withdrawal.
