Playing the cards
Move top cards one at a time. Tableau builds one rank up or down by suit; all surrounding piles may feed either foundation row from the start. No redeal is allowed.
Goal and first plan
Build every card onto the eight foundations.
With no redeal, each card you uncover matters. Prefer moves that expose a fresh pile top, especially from a deeper pile.
