How to play
Move the entire deck onto the four corner foundations.
- Four tableau rows begin with one exposed card each, four corner foundations start empty, and the remaining forty-eight cards form stock and waste.
- A King starts an empty corner foundation; thereafter that foundation advances one rank upward with Ace following King. Exposed row or waste cards may move to a legal corner.
- Move the entire deck onto the four corner foundations.
Strategy tips
- Start corners with Kings from different parts of the stock order and keep their rank cycles staggered to accept more exposed cards.
- Advancing all corners to the same rank at once can make the next several waste cards uniformly unplayable.
- Balance the four cyclic foundation tops so each remaining row card has a distinct corner destination.
