S Patience

Goal

Move all the cards to the foundations.

How to play

A card of each rank is dealt to each of thirteen foundation piles, arranged like the letter S. These foundations are built up by rank, regardless of suit, with a max of 8 cards in each pile.

Cards are dealt from the talon one at a time, and can be moved to the foundations, or one of two tableau piles. Building on these tableau piles is not allowed, and the top card of either can be moved to an appropriate foundation. No redeal is allowed. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
