For 1 Player - Level: Moderate

Layout: Layout on the table any Ace, 2, 3 and 4. Directly under them lay out any 2, 4, 6 and 8. The four cards on the bottom are foundations. You'll be building on them, but in an odd sort of way.

The only purpose of the top row is to remind you of the key numbers you have to build by.

On the 2 you'll build the standard way - by 1s:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 T J Q K

On the 4 you'll build by 2s:
4 6 8 T Q A 3 5 7 9 J K

On the 6 you'll build by 3s:
6 9 Q 2 5 8 J A 4 7 T K

On the 8 you'll build by 4s:
8 Q 3 7 J 2 6 T A 5 9 K

To win the game: Build all the cards into groups of 13 on the foundations.

Redeals: Two.
