Goal
Build eight same-suit foundations from ace to king. Move all 104 cards onto them to win.
Starting layout
Use two decks. Deal eight single-card tableau columns face up and keep 96 cards in stock.
How to play
Build tableau columns down in alternating colors. Move an exposed card or a correctly ordered group. Any available card or valid group may fill an empty column. The stock deals one face-up card to each column, including a final partial row. There is no waste or turnover. Unlike many games, exposed foundation cards may return to a legal tableau column.
