Similarities to FreeCell:

  • The Cards in the columns are always visible
  • There are four individual cells at the top

Similarities to Solitaire:

  • There is a deck and discard pile to draw cards from
  • Only Kings may be placed at the top of an empty column
  • Cards may be removed from the Ace piles and placed back onto the playing field
  • Any number of cards can be moved in one move (as long as they are stacked as in Solitaire

Features unique to this game:

  • The four individual cells start with cards in them
  • You may only go through the deck twice on draw one and three times on draw three
  • The obvious: there are only four columns, not 7 or 8 as in Solitaire and FreeCell, respectively
