Goal

Group all the cards in sets of 12 cards in ascending sequence by suit from Ace to Queen. There may be empty spaces between but not within such sequences. The tableau wraps around.

How to play

This solitaire starts with the entire deck shuffled and dealt out to 54 piles. The Kings are then removed making a total of 6 initial free spaces.

You may move to a space only the card that matches the neighbor in suit, and is one greater in rank than the left neighbour or one less in rank than the right neighbour.

As a special rule you may place an Ace of any suit to the right of a Queen.

The tableau wraps around at the end of rows and from the bottom-right to the top-left.
