Use the rule sheet as a reference. Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Work at your own pace. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
