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

13 tableau piles - build down in suit, or in the same rank.  Groups of cards in sequence down in suit (or of the same rank) may be moved as a unit (groups moved as a unit cannot contain both cards descending in sequence and multiple cards of the same rank at the same time).  Spaces are filled by a King or a legal group of cards headed with a King.  At the start of the game 4 cards are dealt to each pile.

 

Notes

The tableau piles are built down in suit, or in the same rank. That is, if the exposed card of a pile is the 7 , the 6 or another 7 (such as the 7 ) may be played on it.
