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 columns of one through eight cards with only each top card face up. Keep the other 68 cards in stock.
How to play
Build tableau columns down in alternating colors. Move any face-up starting card with every card covering it, even if the tail is unordered. Hidden cards inside a moved tail stay hidden. Any available card or tail can fill an empty column. Expose a newly uncovered top card. Deal one stock card onto every column, including a final partial row. There is no waste, turnover or foundation withdrawal.
