Playing the tableau
Move single exposed cards onto cards one rank higher and opposite in color. Empty columns accept any card. Turn stock cards to the waste; build eight suit foundations from Ace.
Goal and first plan
Move all 104 cards to the foundations.
The 30 hidden tableau cards are the main constraint. Prefer a legal move that flips a card over a move that only rearranges visible tops.
