Rules for KingCell Solitaire

Description:

A variation of FreeCell where we build down regardless of suit instead of by alternate color, and only kings may be played to empty tableau spaces

Cards:

One standard deck. Since colors don't matter, politaire substitutes a four-color deck of cards..

Goal:

Move all cards to the foundation.

Foundation:

Four foundation piles.

Any ace may be moved to any empty pile in the foundation.

A card may be added onto a foundation pile if it is one higher than the old top card of the pile and of the same suit.Thus, the only card that could be played on a 6♥ would be a 7♥.

Once on the foundation, cards may not be moved back off..

Cells:

Four cells, all initially empty

Each cell can hold one card. Available cards can be played into any cell. Cards from cells can be played back to the tableau or to the foundation.

Tableau:

Eight tableau piles of cards, with the first four having seven cards each, and the next four having six cards each. All cards are dealt face up.

A card may be added onto a tableau pile if it is one lower than the old top card of the pile and of any suit.Thus, the card that could be played on an eight would be a seven of any suit.

Cards on the tableau that are not under another card are available for play onto the foundation, an empty cell or any other tableau pile.

Empty spaces in the tableau may be filled by kings only.

Technically, only one card may be moved at a time, but since supermoves are enabled politaire will allow you to move sequences when there are enough empty cells so that it would be possible to achieve the same end by a sequence of single card moves.
