How to play
Complete four suited foundations from Ace to King and four from King to Ace.
- Two decks deal eleven cards to each of eight reserves and one card to each of sixteen tableau piles. The stock and waste are empty; eight foundations await the cards.
- The first eight tableau lanes build upward in suit and feed Ace-up foundations; the last eight build downward in suit and feed King-down foundations. Only single tableau cards move. When a lane empties, its paired reserve automatically supplies the next card; an empty lane stays open only after that reserve is exhausted.
- Complete four suited foundations from Ace to King and four from King to Ace.
Strategy tips
- Coordinate the head and tail lane sharing each reserve so neither direction buries the rank needed by the other.
- Reserve cards cannot be moved directly; they enter play only through automatic refill of one of their two paired lanes.
- As each reserve empties, use its newly persistent gaps to transfer the last same-suit cards between upward and downward lanes.
