Goal
Complete all eight twelve-card foundations with the 96 non-queen cards, leaving eight tableau queens, to win.
Starting layout
Use two decks. Seed eight tableau piles with the queens and keep the other 96 cards in stock. Eight empty foundations await kings.
How to play
Build tableau piles downward in the same suit, moving one exposed card at a time. Queens stay as the original bottom cards. Build foundations in suit from king, then ace through jack. Draw one card onto the waste; only its top is playable. When a tableau sequence meets a matching foundation, its connecting cards move automatically in foundation order, leaving the queen. No stock turnover or foundation withdrawal is allowed.
