Playing the cards
Twelve piles and a reserve begin the game. Start with the top card of the first pile, transfer cards beneath their rank piles, and place Kings in a separate pile before resuming from reserve.
How the chain stops
A King goes to the King reserve and stops the current chain. A card already on its assigned pile can also stop it. If a reserve card remains, that card starts the next chain.
