To move all the cards to the foundations.

 

Layout

8 foundation piles (bottom left and right) - build the Aces up in suit to Kings, build the Kings down in suit to Aces.  At the start of the game an Ace and a King of each suit are dealt.

 

4 tableau piles (middle) - top card is available for play on the foundations.  No building.  Spaces may be filled a single card.  At the start of the game 12 cards are dealt to each pile.

 

13 reserve piles (left, top, right) - each pile contains cards of the same rank, starting from Aces and Twos in the lower left around to Queens and Kings on the lower right.  The top card of each pile is available for play on the foundations, and all cards are available.  Right  click on the pile to cycle through all the cards in the pile.

Notes

Cards may be moved between Foundations when the Foundations of the same suit meet.

 

Play consists entirely of moving cards to the Foundations.

 

Tips

Since the cards in the reserve are always available, you should play to remove as many cards from the tableau piles as possible.
