How to play
Complete eight thirteen-card descending foundations with all 104 cards.
- Two decks are shuffled, one King seeds the first of eight foundations, one card is exposed on the waste, and all remaining cards form the stock.
- Foundations descend with King-to-Ace wrap. An empty foundation has its own starting rank, from King on the first through Six on the eighth, and a later foundation cannot receive a card until the preceding foundation has begun. Only the waste plays; two redeals are available.
- Complete eight thirteen-card descending foundations with all 104 cards.
Strategy tips
- Advance early foundations enough to unlock the later starts, but keep checking all already-open sequences so a needed waste card is not passed unnecessarily.
- A correct starting rank is still illegal if the foundation immediately to its left has not been opened.
- Use the final pass to finish foundations from left to right, since an unfinished predecessor can still block a perfect card for a later pile.
