Place a 32-card pack into four suit rows.
Four rows have spaces for Eight through Ace, with four more cards in reserve. Move each exposed card to its suit-and-rank position, carrying the displaced downcard onward. Sevens leave for their suit foundations. If the last Seven appears before the grid is complete, reveal a face-down cell; a misplaced card spoils the game.
Track the suit row and rank column separately; every Eight through Ace has one home.
The appearance of the fourth Seven can end the chain before the grid is complete.
Spoilt is part of The Clockworks · Rank shuttles and is a variant of Travellers. Four suit rows replace rank piles, and Sevens leave the tableau.
