When the game begins, each of the seven columns on the board is dealt four face-up cards. The four slots are located above the columns.

The cards on the columns ought to be stacked by suit in descending order.

Features:
  • You can move a set of cards from one column to another if the move connects a card to another card of an immediately higher rank and of the same suit. For instance, a set that begins with a 7 of spades can be moved onto an 8 of spades in a different column. The other cards in the set can be of any color and sequence.
  • Only a King can be moved to an empty column.
