Object

Penguin:



Tableaux
4 Same suit foundations, base rank 1
7 Flipper reserves, base rank any

Rules
The bottom card in the left row is called the Beak and determines the base rank for the foundations. The three other cards of the same rank are placed in the foundations which build up in suit with wrap. The seven piles build down in suit, wrapping around from Ace to King. Empty spaces may only be filled by a card or a sequence that begins one below the Beak's rank. The seven free cells (also called Flipper) can hold any single card.
