All cards are face up in eight columns; four free cells each hold one temporary card. There is no stock.

Objective

Move all 52 cards onto the four suit foundations in ascending order.

Deal and setup

All cards are face up in eight columns; four free cells each hold one temporary card. There is no stock.

How to play — step by step

  1. All 52 cards are face up in eight columns. Four free cells hold one card each.
  2. Build columns down in alternating red and black. Any card may fill an empty column. Build foundations from A to K in the same suit.
  3. The maximum sequence you can move is (free cells + 1) × 2 raised to the number of empty auxiliary columns. An empty destination column does not count towards this capacity.

Important rules to remember

Play example

With one empty free cell and no empty spare columns, you can move at most two cards in a valid alternating-colour sequence.

Aces Up
