Shady Lanes

Goal

Move all the cards to the foundations.

How to play

A card is dealt to each of four tableau piles, and four reserve cards are set aside. The tableau piles are built down by alternate color, and only single cards can be moved between tableau piles. Empty tableau piles can be filled with one of the reserve cards. Cards from the reserve can also be moved to the tableau. An empty reserve card is immediately replaced from the stock.

When there are no moves left, you can deal cards one at a time from the talon, and move them to the tableau or foundations. The foundations are built up by same color from ace to king. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
