2 Decks.  Very Easy (90%).  Mostly Skill.

 

Object

To move all the cards to the foundations.

 

Layout

8 foundation piles (across top) - build left 4 piles up in suit from Ace to King,  drop 13 card sequences of same suit cards from the tableau on the right 4 piles.

 

10 tableau piles (below foundations) - build down regardless of suit.  Groups of cards in sequence down in suit may be moved as a unit. Spaces are filled by Kings or legal groups of cards headed by a King (see KingOnly for option).  At the start of the game 1 card is dealt to the first pile, 2 cards to the 2nd pile, and so on.  The top card is face up.

 

stock (top left, face down) - deal 1 card to the waste pile by clicking.  Unlimited redeals.

 

waste (right of stock) - top card is available for play on the foundations or tableau.

Notes

The first 4 foundations are built up in suit from Ace to King (using any suits for the 4 piles).   The last 4 foundations are built in the tableau.  Build 4 13-card sequences of same suit, from King down to Ace.  To move these cards to the foundations, pick up the entire 13-card sequence and drop it on the desired foundation pile.   Single cards are not allowed in these foundation piles.
