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

 

Layout

10 tableau piles (top) - build down in suit.  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 5 cards are dealt to each pile.  In the rightmost 3 piles, 3 cards are face down and 2 face up, in the other piles all cards are face up.

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).
