    Rules
    Eight foundations at the top with nine rows below. The foundations on the left build up in rank from Ace, those on the right build down from King. The rows build up or down in rank, reversible. The foundation stack logic is unusual. Any card of the proper rank to drop to any foundation will drop if it is in the center row. If it's in another row, it will only drop if its rank is correct for the foundation that is directly above its row. Moves to a "correct" row and any following auto drops are considered a single move. That means that undo undoes either all or none.
