Soother

Goal

Move all the cards to the foundations.

How to play

Five cards are dealt to each of nine tableau piles. Tableau piles are built down by rank, regardless of suit, and only single cards can be moved between tableau piles. Only kings can fill empty tableau piles.

There is a single free cell that can hold a max of 8 cards. Any single card can be moved to the reserve, and the top card can be moved to the foundation or tableau.

Cards can be dealt from the tableau one at a time and moved to the tableau, free cell, or foundations. The foundations are built up by suit from ace to king. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
