Number of Decks: 2

Initial Layout: Deal five rows of ten cards each, face down, overlapping each row. Deal one more card to the first four piles. Turn the top card of each pile face up.

Object: Move all eight thirteen-card suit sequences, from King to Ace, as a unit to the foundation piles.

When play comes to a standstill, or earlier if desired, another row of cards can be dealt to the tableau from the stock.
