Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

A card is dealt to each of four tableau piles, and eight reserve piles. The aces are all dealt to the foundations. The tableau piles are built down by same suit, and any card or sequence of cards can be moved between tableau piles. Any card or sequence can be moved to an empty tableau pile. You cannot build on the reserves, and cards can only be moved from the reserves to the tableau or foundation one at a time.

When there are no moves left, you can deal a single card from the deck to each of the reserve piles.

The foundations are built up by suit from ace to king. The game is won when all cards are moved to the foundations.
