  • Build the top foundations down in suit (for example, a 7 can be played on a 8) from the base card to the rank just above the base card until each pile contains 13 cards.

  • Build the bottom foundations up in suit (for example, a 5 can be played on a 4) from the base card to the rank just below the base card until each pile contains 13 cards.

Tableau (22 piles in 2 rows of 11 cards each)
