Goal
Win by completing all eight thirteen-card foundations with 104 cards. This follows the original Little Billee account, not the later Buffalo Bill adaptation with empty reserves and no redeal.
Starting layout
Use two decks. Fill eight separate reserve spaces with one exposed card each. Deal the other 96 cards into twenty-four face-up fans of four. Start foundations during play: an ace and a king of each suit.
How to play
Only the top of a fan can move, either to a foundation or an empty reserve. Each reserve card may go only to a foundation. Do not build on fans, fill fan gaps, move between reserves or take cards back from foundations. Build four foundations upward in suit from ace to king and four downward from king to ace. You may redeal twice: gather the fans in reverse dealing order, without shuffling, and deal groups of up to four. Keep all reserve and foundation cards untouched.
