Fortress Solitaire

Goal

Move all cards to the four Foundation piles from Ace to King in the same suit.

The Deal

Using one deck, all cards are dealt face up to the layout. There are 10 Columns. The Columns on each end are dealt 6 cards each. The center eight Columns are dealt 5 cards each.

Foundations

Foundations are built UP and IN SUIT starting with an Ace and ending with a King. For example, a 2 of Clubs can be placed on an Ace of Clubs, then a 3 of Clubs, then a 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, up to the K of Clubs. The same holds true for the other suits.

Columns

Columns are built UP OR DOWN in ANY SUIT. For example, a 6 may be placed on any 7 or any 5.

The topmost card in any Column is available for movement to either another Column or a Foundation.

Empty Columns may be filled with Kings.
