How to play
Complete the four upward and four downward suited foundations with both decks.
- Two reserves receive thirteen cards each, four one-card tableau cells and one waste card are exposed, and seventy-three cards remain in stock. All eight foundations begin empty.
- Accessible reserve, tableau, waste, or foundation cards may build a suited foundation from Ace upward or King downward. An empty tableau cell refills directly from stock; after the stock is empty, any accessible card may enter an empty cell. Cards may transfer between compatible foundations, and there is no redeal.
- Complete the four upward and four downward suited foundations with both decks.
Strategy tips
- Use foundation-to-foundation transfers to correct which copy entered an outward sequence, and expose both long reserve tops before the stock-fed cells close options.
- The two thirteen-card reserves are source stacks, not free cells, and an empty tableau cell cannot be chosen freely while stock remains to refill it.
- Once the stock is empty, exploit genuinely open tableau cells and reversible foundation transfers to release the final buried reserve cards.
