Playing the tableau
Draw to the waste one card at a time. The waste top may build a foundation by an interval of 1, 2, 3 or 4, regardless of suit. Rank cycles after King. The waste can be gathered for two redeals.
Goal and first plan
Complete all four twelve-card foundations after at most three passes through the stock.
Keep the four next-needed ranks in view. A waste-top card may fit more than one foundation; compare the next rank each placement would require.
