Goal
Build four same-suit foundations from ace to king, two for each suit. Move all 52 cards there to win.
Starting layout
Use 52 cards: hearts and spades, with two copies of each rank. Deal one through seven cards into seven columns, exposing each top card; add four face-up cards to columns two through seven.
How to play
Build downward in alternating colors. Move any face-up card with all cards covering it, even when they are not in sequence. Only a king or a group headed by a king can fill an empty column. Turn over a newly exposed face-down card. There is no stock or redeal.
