## Setup

Type of Deck | Standard Deck
Stock | Top left pile. The last three cards are placed here after the deal.
Tableau | Seven piles to the right of Stock. * Deal one cards face down on each of the first four rows. Deal one card face up on the last three rows. Repeat from * two more times, dealing a total of three rows. Deal one card face up on each pile for four more rows.

## Goal

Create four piles of thirteen cards each, each pile consisting of one suit and in rank order.

## Rules

Cards in the Tableau are built down by suit. Groups of cards can be moved regardless of sequence. An empty pile in the Tableau can be filled with a King or a group of cards with a King on the bottom.

At any point, clicking on the Stock will deal the last three cards, one each on the first three piles.

## Scoring

For every sequence in suit, points given is (length of sequence - 1). Each time a sequence of thirteen is created and is in its own slot, four extra points are awarded. Reaching a card that was face down gives three points.

Maximum possible score: 100

## Strategy

Unknotting knots is not often easy. Avoid tangling yourself up with no way out.
