3.40.1. Setup

Type of Deck Double Deck
Stock Top left pile. The rest of the deck is placed here after dealing the Tableau. Cards are dealt in batches of eight, one on every Tableau.
Foundation Eight piles top right. To be built in suit from Ace to King. Topmost card in each Foundation can be played back on to the Tableau.
Tableau Eight piles. Deal two rows face down and one row face up to start. Tableau can be built down in alternating colors. Builds of cards can be moved. Empty piles can be filled with any card or build.

3.40.2. Goal

Move all cards to the Foundation piles.

3.40.3. Rules

Cards in Tableau are built down by alternating color. Builds of cards can be moved. An empty pile in the Tableau can be filled with any card or build of cards.

Each deal flips one card from the Stock to each pile of the Tableau. There are no redeals.

Foundations are built up in suit from Ace to King. Cards in Foundations are still in play. Double clicking on a card in the Tableau will move it to the appropriate Foundation pile if such a move is possible.

3.40.4. Scoring

Each card in the Foundation scores 5 points. When a Foundation pile is complete (from Ace to King), 60 more points are scored. Each card pair on the Tableau in alternating order scores 2 points.

Maximum possible score: 1000

3.40.5. Strategy

Try and expose new cards in the Tableau whenever possible. Remember you can always bring cards from the Foundation back into play.
