Complete eight wraparound foundations beneath their last-card markers.
Eight markers predict the final card of their corresponding foundations. Build each foundation upward regardless of suit, starting one rank above its marker. Only top cards of eight tableau piles may be played; deal a card to each pile from stock.
Choose the next move
Each marker reserves the final rank of its foundation. The first playable rank is one above that marker, wrapping after King. Check the eight exposed tableau tops against those eight starts before another stock row covers them.
Watch the limiting rule
Foundation building ignores suit, so two piles can request the same rank. The marker card itself is withheld until its own pile has received the other twelve cards. Advancing one pile too far can deprive another of an exposed rank.
Play the endgame
Once the stock has dealt its last row, work backward from each marker: a pile needs the preceding twelve ranks before its reserved card can finish it. Only tableau tops can move, so clear a blocked pile when its top fits any foundation.
