This game was taught to me years ago, using a regular deck of cards.
Setup:
- Columns 1,2,3: lay 1 card face up
- Column 4: 6 cards down and the 7th up
- Columns 5,6,7: 1 up.
- The very next card goes up to the foundation and that is your starting number.
Play:
- The foundation pile alternate between red and black going up,
- the columns alternate between red and black going down
- Column 4: can ONLY be played in the foundation.
- Also you can only go through the deck once
