Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

The four Aces are dealt to the foundations at game start. The remaining cards are dealt to twelve piles of four cards each, with alternating cards face-down.

The piles build down by alternate color. Sequences may be moved, but an empty pile can be only be filled with a single card.

The foundations are built up by same suit. The game is won when all cards are moved to the foundations.
