The deal

Two decks place four face-up cards in each of twelve piles; the remaining cards form a one-pass stock.

Playing the cards

Build tableau cards down by suit. Proper same-suit runs may move together; any card or run can fill a vacancy. Build eight suit foundations from Ace to King.

Napoleon's Square is part of Grand Plaza · Forty Thieves & two-deck builders and is a variant of Napoleon at St Helena. Twelve columns of four allow same-suit sequences to move as a unit.
