1 Deck.  Medium (30%).  Skill/Luck balanced.

 

Object

To move all the cards to the foundations.

 

Layout

4 foundation piles (top right) - build up in suit from Ace to King.

 

7 tableau piles (below foundations) - build down by alternate color.  Move groups of cards if they are in sequence down by alternate color.  Fill spaces with Kings or a legal group of cards headed by a King.  At the start of the game, 3 cards are dealt to each pile, 2 face down and 1 face up.

 

stock (top left, face down) - deals 1 card to each tableau pile by clicking.

 

Tips

The difficult part of this game is that the new cards dealt can completely ruin the tableau.  See EastHaven [easy] for a variant that allows any card in spaces, making the game somewhat easier to win.
