Setup

Type of Deck | Double Deck
Stock | Top left pile. Deck placed here after dealing onto Tableau. Clicking deals one card face up to every pile.
Foundation | Top eight piles. Not part of "official rules"
Tableau | Ten piles. Four piles (piles 1, 4, 7, and 10) get dealt 5 cards down and one card up while rest of the piles get dealt 4 cards down and one card up. Cards can be built down regardless of suit. Sequences of cards in the same suit can be moved as a unit. Empty piles can be filled with any card or movable unit.

Goal

To have eight sequences of cards (two for each suit) going down from King down to Ace in the foundation.

Rules

Build down regardless of suit. Sequences of cards in the same suit can be moved as a unit. Empty piles can be filled with any card or legal sequence.

Clicking on the Stock pile at any time deals a card face up to every pile. However, all piles must be non-empty. If an empty pile exists, an error message will appear.

A sequence of thirteen cards can be moved to a foundation pile. Once there, these cards are no longer in play.

Options

None

Scoring

For every sequence in suit, points given is (length of sequence - 1).

Maximum possible score: 96

Strategy

If at first you don't succeed, don't become addicted. Build in suit whenever possible, but expose as many cards as you can.
