Goal

Move all the cards to the foundations.

How to play

A card is dealt to each of twenty tableau piles, arranged in a circle. In the middle of the circle are three rows of foundations. The top and bottom rows are built down by same suit from ten to ace, then turning the corner from ace to king and down to jack, in the hearts, clubs, and spades. The middle row is for diamonds, and one foundation is built up from ace to king and the other down from jack to queen, turning the corner as necessary.

When no more cards can be moved to the foundations, you can deal one card from the talon to each tableau pile. Once the talon is empty, you can move single cards between tableau piles, building them up or down by same suit. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
