FreeCell type. 1 deck. No redeal.
Move all cards to the foundations.
The top left card is called the Beak and determines the base rank for the foundations. The three other cards of the same rank are placed to the foundations.
The seven piles build down by same suit, wrapping around from Ace to King. Empty spaces may only be filled by a card or a sequence one below the Beak's rank.
The seven free cells (also called the Flipper) can hold any - and just one - card.
Penguin was invented by David Parlett, and the original rules can be found here. It is also known as Beak and Flipper.
