Eight kings start the foundations. Each suit builds upward from king to ace, then two through queen; completing that cycle removes the whole run.
Queens release more than a foundation
Seven hidden reserve cards sit beneath corresponding foundation positions. Finishing one of those foundations reveals its reserve card. Eight tableau columns begin with four visible cards each, and the remaining cards are in a draw-one stock with unlimited passes.
- Tableau cards build down by suit. Ordered suited runs move together; any card or legal run can fill an empty column.
- Check a hidden reserve’s position before finishing its foundation. A newly revealed card may need a receiver you are about to cover.
- Complete all eight king–ace–two–…–queen cycles to win, including every reserve and stock card.
