Goal
Complete all eight thirteen-card foundations, holding all 104 cards, to win.
Starting layout
Use two decks. Start the first of eight foundations with a king. The other 103 cards form the stock; there is no tableau.
How to play
Start the remaining foundations in order with queen, jack, ten, nine, eight, seven and six. Start all eight before adding a second card to any foundation. Then build each foundation downward by rank, ignoring suit and continuing from ace to king, up to thirteen cards. Draw one card at a time and play only the waste top. Turn the waste over twice without shuffling; never withdraw a foundation card.
