Goal: move both decks to eight foundations. Four build up from Ace to King and four build down from King to Ace; suits do not matter.

  • The foundations start empty: any Ace starts an up foundation and any King a down one.
  • Two reserves hold thirteen face-up cards each, fanned so every card shows. Only their top cards are available.
  • Four single-card feeder spaces begin occupied and refill automatically from the stock whenever cleared.
  • Turn the stock one card at a time to the waste. The top waste card is available. There is no redeal.
  • Play reserve, feeder or waste cards to either kind of foundation. A foundation top may also move to another compatible foundation.
