Yukon type. 1 deck. No redeal.
Move all cards to the foundations.
The cards are dealt to seven tableau piles, with one card in the first, and the remaining piles containing 3, 5, 7, 4, 6, and 2 cards respectively, and the remaining cards dealt over top.
Tableau piles can be moved regardless of sequence, and are built down by same suit. Foundations are built up by same suit, starting from ace.
When there are no moves left, the remaining tableau cards can be shuffled, and redealt in the same manner as described above. This can be done twice.
The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
This game was taught to KPatience developer Paul Olav Tvete by his grandfather. In KPatience, it goes by the name Grandfather, but it is often known as Tvete's Grandfather to differentiate it from another game more commonly known as Grandfather.
