Draw a card, then choose a highlighted destination.
Deal into eight piles. Only Aces can go to foundations until the stock is empty.
Playing the tableau
During the deal, only Aces may go directly to foundations. Assign every other drawn card to one of the eight piles. After the stock is exhausted, move top cards from piles to foundations in ascending suit order.
Goal and first plan
Build all four foundations from Ace through King. The initial assignment order determines which cards can be released later.
Use the extra eight piles as separate suit lanes when possible. An early low card should remain accessible above cards that will not be needed until much later.
