Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.

An example before you play
The trailing cards may be unordered, but the destination suit and rank must match. Use another round to revisit a decision.
