Goal
Move all 104 cards onto eight foundations that ascend from ace to king in alternating colors. There is no turnover.
Starting layout
Use two decks. Place eight aces on the foundations, one card in each of four tableau columns and four single-card reserves. The other 88 cards form the stock.
How to play
Build foundations upward in alternating colors, not by suit. Only tableau tops may enter a foundation; reserve and waste cards must first visit the tableau. Build tableau columns down in alternating colors and move ordered groups together. Only reserve cards fill empty columns. Reserve and waste tops can build on occupied columns. Refill an empty reserve from the waste first, then stock. Draw one stock card at a time.
