How to play
Complete four suited Ace-to-King and four suited King-to-Ace foundations with both decks.
- Eight suited directional foundations are seeded and partially advanced during nine tableau rounds; eight tableau piles and sixteen one-card reserve positions then contain every remaining card, with no stock or waste.
- Only reserve cards whose fir-tree blockers have been cleared are exposed. Move accessible reserve, tableau, or reversible foundation tops to matching suited foundations, or move single cards among occupied tableau piles when their ranks are adjacent in either direction with wrap. Empty tableau piles do not accept cards.
- Complete four suited Ace-to-King and four suited King-to-Ace foundations with both decks.
Strategy tips
- Clear the outer tree blockers in dependency order and use reversible foundation cards only when they expose a reserve node or restore a useful adjacent-rank tableau path.
- A visually present fir-tree card may still be covered by dependent reserve nodes, and no empty tableau pile can rescue a misplaced card.
- Work inward through the final tree branches, balancing both foundation directions so each newly exposed rank has an immediate legal destination.
