nce--K, Q, J, down to 4, 3, 2--and must alternate in color; red on
black, black on red. If there be more than one card at the bottom of a
row, all must be moved together or not at all. Spaces are filled with
kings only.
The stock is run through one card at a time and any card showing can be
used, either on the layout or foundations. When the pack has been run
through once that ends it.

Two Entire Packs of Cards
RULES
I. The foundations follow suit.
II. The uppermost card of each packet of the helps is alone available
until its removal releases the card beneath.
III. When queens appear among the helps, whether placed in the original
deal or in refilling vacancies, no other cards can be laid upon them.
They remain as single cards.
PLAY
Deal out eight cards in the shape of a capital A: these are called
helps. Whenever in the course of the deal knaves turn up, they are to
be placed so as to form the letter N (see tableau). The eight knaves
are the foundation cards, which _descend_ in sequence to kings.
When the helps (letter A) have been laid out, play from them any
suitable cards to continue the foundations (if any of these have been
already placed), refilling the vacancies from the pack or talon. You
next proceed to form marriages in _ascending_ line with cards of the
helps, except in the case of queens, on which cards must not be placed
(Rules II and III).
When no other cards can be played or married, proceed to deal out the
entire pack, playing the knaves and other suitable cards forming
marriages with cards in the helps, refilling vacancies and placing
unsuitable cards as a talon.
If the game succeeds, the final tableau shows the letter A composed of
queens, and the letter N of kings, with which the foundation cards
terminate.
The talon may be re-dealt twice.
