Setup

The game is setup starting with two columns of four cards each. Room for an additional column of cards should be left between the two columns made.

Cards will then begin to be overlapped on top of the initial cards laid down. This continues until there are seven cards in each stack on the left and six cards on each stack on the right.

Objective

The object of the game is to get all the cards into the middle foundation piles in sequential order for each suit. The foundation piles will start with the aces and go up to the kings.

Game Play

During the game play, only the outermost card for each stack is available to be moved. Cards can be moved in two ways. Cards can be moved to the middle foundation piles when possible.

Cards can also be moved when stacked onto an outermost card in descending order. The suits do not matter when making this type of move.

The player will continue to make available moves to get all the cards into the middle foundation piles.

Win/Lose

If a player can get all the cards into their middle foundation piles, they win the game. If a player gets stuck with no available moves, the game is lost.

Rule

When a stack becomes empty, any card may be moved to the empty spot.
