Playing the tableau
Build tableau cards down in alternating colors. Correctly ordered groups can move together, and empty columns accept a card or group. Foundations rise by suit.
Goal and first plan
Uncover the hidden cards and complete eight suit foundations.
A group move can uncover a face-down card in one action. Search for packed runs before advancing the stock.
