Goal
Move all cards to the foundations.
How to play
Twelve tableau piles of four cards are dealt and the aces are moved to the foundations at the start of the game.
The tableau piles build down by suit, and the foundations build up by suit. Only one card can be moved at a time, and empty spaces cannot be filled.
When no more moves are possible select the talon for a redeal. The cards are not re-shuffled, but re-dealt in packs of 4 cards. Note that due to the way redealing is done, if no cards have been moved since the last redeal, the cards will end up in the same layout as before. This usually means the game is lost.
