Build each suit from both ends
Bisley
One deck
Goal: move every card to eight foundations. Each suit is built from both ends at once: up from Ace and down from King. The two foundations may meet at any rank.
- All 48 non-Aces start face-up in thirteen columns.
- Tableau cards build one rank up or down in the same suit.
- Move only one exposed card at a time. An empty column stays empty for the rest of the game.
- A released King starts its matching downward foundation; choose carefully which end of a suit receives each available card.

Aces placed before the deal, King foundations that build down to meet them, and columns that build up or down in suit. Written as a design file, this is the whole game. Make a game explains every part of it.
