Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

A card is dealt to each of eight tableau piles, and one card is dealt to the foundations to determine the base rank of the foundations. The tableau piles are built down by alternate color, turning the corner from ace to king as necessary. Only single cards can be moved between tableau piles. Any card can be used to fill an empty tableau pile.

Cards are dealt from the talon one at a time, and can be moved to the foundation, tableau, or one of three reserve piles. The card on the top of each reserve pile can be moved to an appropriate tableau or foundation, but cards can only be moved to these reserves from the talon directly.

The foundations are built up by same suit, starting with the rank dealt to the foundations at the start of the game, turning the corner from king to ace as necessary. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
