Goal: surround the Sultan (the fixed King of Hearts) with eight completed foundations whose top cards are Queens.

  • Seven outer foundations begin with Kings and continue Ace upward to Queen in suit. The eighth begins with the Ace of Hearts and builds upward to Queen.
  • Six face-up divan cards are available for foundations. A cleared divan space refills automatically from the stock.
  • Draw the stock one card at a time to the waste. The waste may be recycled twice (three passes total).
  • The central King of Hearts never moves.
  • Your score is the number of cards on the foundations, 104 for a win.
