Osmosis

Also known as Treasure Trove

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

A single card is dealt to the first foundation, and four cards are dealt to each of four tableau rows, with only the top card visible. No building in this tableau is allowed. The remaining cards are dealt three at a time from the stock. On this first foundation, any card of the same suit as the first card can be played.

Lower foundations are started with a card of the same rank as the first card. Subsequent cards played to these foundations must be the same suit as that first card played to it, and have a rank that matches that of a card that's already been played to the foundation directly above it.

The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
