Goal
Finish with all forty-four non-king, non-queen cards on the four ace foundations, leaving the four queens and four kings as their original starters. There is no redeal.
Starting layout
Seed four ace foundations and four queen foundations. Start a tableau pile with a king, then deal onto it until the next king starts another pile. All cards are face up; there is no stock.
How to play
Move one exposed tableau card at a time. Build one rank up or down without regard to suit. Any single non-king card may go onto a bare king; kings stay in place. Build ace foundations upward through jack and queen foundations downward through two, ignoring suit. Transfer exposed foundation cards between compatible foundations in playable order, never moving a starting ace or queen.
