- 8 piles in the top row are built from Twos to Jacks:
2-5-8-J
- 8 piles in the middle row are built from Threes to Queens:
3-6-9-Q
- 8 piles in the bottom row are built from Fours to Kings:
4-7-10-K
Foundation Play
- Top cards are available for play.
- Twos, Threes and Fours may be exchanged between foundation rows if both cards end up on correct foundation piles. Drag a card onto another to exchange.
