Australian Patience Game (or play Australian Patience Easy)

Your goal is to win! You win the game when you move all cards to the foundations (the 4 empty piles in the upper right corner). You must start each foundation with an Ace. Then you can place cards of the same suit in ascending order: Ace, 2, 3, 4, ..., 10, Jack, Queen and King.

Cards are shuffled and 28 form the tableau (the 7 piles in the bottom of the screen). The remaining 24 cards form the stock (top left) and the game start with one card turned from the stock into the waste pile.

• You can play the last card of each pile from the tableau to the foundation of the same suit, in ascending order.
• All visibles cards from one pile can be moved to another, but in the same suit and descending order: 7 of Hearts, 6 of Hearts, 5 of Hearts, 4 of Hearts...
• The top card from the waste can also be played to the tableau piles or foundations.
• Only a King can go to an empty pile.

When all moves are done, you turn one card from the stock to the waste pile before playing it to a foundation or on the tableau if suitable. When the stock is empty, it's probably time to say you have lost.

Australian Patience seems easy to play since all cards are face up. But with no redraw, you always end up needing a card already buried in the waste.
