How to play

Cards are dealt into 18 piles of three (with the last pile only having one card). During the initial deal, aces are skipped and sent directly to the foundation.

Tableau piles are built by same rank. Three cards max are allowed in each tableau pile. Empty piles cannot be filled.

The foundations are built up by suit. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
