Goal: build the four suit foundations from Ace to King.

Start with seven columns of four face-up cards. Columns build down in the same suit.
Move any face-up card with all cards covering it, even if they are out of order. Only the bottom card of the group must fit.
Only a King, alone or with its covering cards, can fill an empty column.
Tap the stock to turn one card onto the waste. Only the top waste card is playable.
There is one pass through the stock: the waste cannot be recycled.
