Game Objective
Remove all the cards from the tableau. Build four complete sequences down by suit from King through to Ace.

- Any card may move to an empty tableau.
- The tableaus build down by rank regardless of suit. Complete sequences of the same suit starting with a King and ending with an Ace are automatically removed.

Stock Rules
