How to play
Complete all eight suited foundations, four from Ace to King and four from King to Ace, using both decks.
- Each suit begins with one Ace foundation rising and one King foundation falling; twenty reserves receive one card apiece, and seventy-six cards remain in stock.
- During the opening reserve phase, move exposed reserve cards to their suited foundations and refill each vacancy from stock. Begin a stock cycle only when no such foundation move remains; then each stock top must go directly to a foundation or onto a chosen reserve, with the phase returning after twenty placements.
- Complete all eight suited foundations, four from Ace to King and four from King to Ace, using both decks.
Strategy tips
- Clear every forced reserve continuation before starting a cycle, and spread difficult stock cards across reserves whose current tops will not hide near-term foundation successors.
- Starting the twenty-card cycle while a reserve card can still advance a foundation is illegal, and stacking blindly can bury both directions of the same suit.
- Near completion, assign each stock card to the reserve whose exposed chain reaches a foundation first, keeping upward and downward suit paths balanced.
