Sixes and Sevens

Goal

Move all the cards to the foundations.

How to play

All eight sixes and sevens are dealt out to sixteen foundation piles. Nine additional cards are dealt to the tableau. No building on the tableau is allowed.

The foundations that start with sixes are built down by suit to ace while the foundations that start with sevens are built up by suit to king. A card can be moved from the waste or the tableau to an appropriate foundation. Empty spaces on the tableau can be filled by any other card.

Cards can be dealt from the stock to the waste one at a time. No redeal is allowed. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
