How to play
Transfer all 104 cards to eight thirteen-card alternating-color foundations.
- Four tableau piles and four matching reserves receive one card each, one waste card is exposed, ninety-five cards remain in stock, and eight foundations begin empty.
- Tableau and reserve tops may build tableau downward in alternating colors, with any card allowed in an empty pile; only tableau tops build foundations upward from Ace in alternating colors. Empty tableau lanes refill from their paired reserves, and empty reserves refill from waste then stock. Draw singly and recycle once.
- Transfer all 104 cards to eight thirteen-card alternating-color foundations.
Strategy tips
- Treat each reserve and tableau as a linked lane, clearing the tableau only when the reserve refill exposes a card that advances another lane or foundation.
- Reserve cards cannot move directly to foundations even when their rank fits, and automatic refills can consume the waste card you intended to use elsewhere.
- Synchronize the four lane refills before the final pass, then promote tableau tops in alternating-color order until every reserve and stock card is consumed.
