1 Deck.  Hard (12%).  Mostly Skill.

 

Object

To group all the cards into 4 sets of 13 cards in sequence down in suit from King to Ace within the tableau.

 

Layout

 7 tableau piles (top) - build down in suit, wrapping from Ace to King as necessary.  Groups of cards (regardless of any sequence) can be moved.  Fill spaces with Kings or groups of cards headed by a King.  At the start of the game 7 cards are dealt to each pile.  In the first pile all of the cards are face up, in the rest of the piles 2 cards are face down and 5 cards are face up.

 

3 reserve cards (left) - Each card is available for play on the tableau.  These cards cannot be replaced.

 

Notes

Any face up card, regardless of where in a pile it is, can be moved, along with all cards above it (this is like Yukon).
