Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Cards are dealt to six piles of three cards each and the aces are dealt to the foundations. Tableau piles are built down by alternate color, and only single cards can be moved between tableau piles. Any card can fill empty tableau piles.

When there are no moves left, you can deal cards from the talon one at a time, and move them to the tableau or foundations if possible. You are allowed one redeal, so you can go through the deck twice.

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