Play in the game consists of moving cards to the foundations, putting cards in the reserves in order to get at blocked cards in the fans.  Obviously, if all the reserves become full you are in trouble.

 

History

This game was invented by David Parlett (inventor of Black Hole, Penguin, and other games).  It is based on a game called "Little Billie" by Mary Whitmore Jones in one of her circa 1900 solitaire game books.
