Goal
Build four same-suit foundations from ace to king. Move all 52 cards onto them to win.
Starting layout
Use one deck. Deal one face-up card to each of seven tableau columns; the other 45 cards form the stock.
How to play
Build down in alternating colors. Move ordered face-up groups together. Only a king or a king-headed group fills an empty column. Deal one stock card onto each column, including empty columns and the final partial row. There is no turnover or temporary reserve after the stock runs out.
