Goal
Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs to win. Completed runs leave the tableau.
Starting layout
Use 52 cards: hearts and spades, with two copies of each rank. Deal one through seven cards into seven columns; expose each top card.
How to play
Build downward regardless of suit. Only descending same-suit runs move together. Any valid run may fill an empty column. Fill every empty column before dealing another stock row. There is no redeal.
