Object

Move all cards to the foundations.

Rules

Foundations build up in suit from Ace to King except Kingsley variations which build from King down. The playing piles build down in rank, by alternate color, by color, by suit or by any suit but own, Kingsley variations build up. Cards are dealt from the talon one at a time for most Klondike type games. Cards on the foundations remain in play.

Strategy

Play cards from any face down stacks until all are face up. Klondike type games usually don't allow much strategy.
