Beleaguered Castle

Aces placed on the foundations before the deal, and eight columns that fan out to the left and right and move one card at a time. Written as a design file, this is the whole game. Make a game explains every part of it.

  "description": "**Goal:** build all four foundations up in suit from Ace to King.\n\n- The four Aces begin in the centre, with eight six-card tableau wings around them. Every tableau card is face-up.\n- Tableau piles build **down by rank regardless of suit**.\n- Move only one exposed card at a time. Any single card may fill an empty tableau pile.\n- There is no stock, waste, reserve, or free cell: success comes from creating and preserving empty spaces.",
