All games are 2 decks, no redeal.

Object

Move all cards to the foundations.

Rules

Foundation piles build up in suit from lowest to highest, then wrap from highest to lowest. The foundation is complete when the number of cards equals twice the number of cards per suit or for trump foundations, twice the number of trumps. Cards will be turned over singly from the talon to the waste. Foundation cards are out of play.

Union Square type games have up or down rows which can be filled from the waste or the rows and are not reversible.

Solid Square type games start with the Aces on the foundations and cards from the waste will automatically fill any empty rows which can only be filled from the waste. The stacks are up or down with wrap and reversible.

Relaxed Solid Square type games start with the Aces on the foundations and allow rows to be filled from the rows which are not reversible.

Notes

Play may go better with autodrop turned off.

Many of the games listed in this file have had changes in the tableaux layout to convert the shape from "portrait" to "landscape" format. In practice this allows the use of larger card images for the games. It also means that "saved games" files will not work.
