Napoleon's Tomb

Goal

Move all the cards to the foundations.

How to play

Cards are dealt from the talon one at a time, and can be moved to foundations, or one of four free cells. There are four foundations, built up from seven to king by rank, regardless of suit, located in the corners, and a fifth foundation, built down from six to ace by rank, regardless of suit, then wrapping from ace to six, with the sequence ultimately being built four times in a row.

The four free cells are located directly above, below, and to the left and right of the center foundation. These can contain a single card, and can only be moved to the foundations. No redeal is allowed. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
