Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Cards are dealt to eight tableau piles - four with six cards and four with seven. Tableau piles are built up or down by alternate color and only single cards can be moved between tableau piles. Empty tableau piles can't be filled.

There are two sets of foundations - one is built up by suit starting from ace to king, while the other is built down from king to ace. Cards in foundations can't be moved.

The game is won when all cards are moved to the foundations. It doesn't matter how many cards are in each foundation.
