Playing the cards
Build tableau down in alternating colors, one card at a time. Each suit foundation begins at the base rank and builds upward around the corner; draw stock cards to a waste pile without redealing.
Goal and first plan
Complete all four suit foundations.
The base rank appears four times. Bring the remaining three copies to empty foundations before covering them in the tableau.
