Goal
Complete the four thirteen-card foundations with all 52 cards to win.
Starting layout
Deal one random card to each of four foundations and six face-up cards to each of eight columns. Leave four single-card cells empty. Each foundation keeps its own independent starting rank.
How to play
Move only exposed tableau tops to an empty cell or a foundation. Do not build on the tableau or refill its gaps. A cell card may go only to a foundation, never to another cell or the tableau. Build each foundation upward by rank, ignoring suit and continuing from king to ace. Stop each pile at thirteen cards. There is no stock, redeal or foundation withdrawal.
