Goal
Move all 52 cards onto the four foundations to win.
Starting layout
Deal all 52 cards face up into thirteen columns of four cards. There is no stock or reserve.
How to play
Build down in alternating colors. Move one exposed card at a time; any card may fill a gap. A descending group can move together only when other empty columns provide enough temporary space, excluding the destination itself. Build four foundations upward in the same suit, from ace to king. Foundation cards cannot return to the tableau; there is no redeal.
