Surrounding the Foundations are twelve Tableau Piles holding eight cards each. These cards can build up or down regardless of suit, but only the top card of each pile can be moved (Rapture Tech).

Rules

Cards can be relocated between the top and bottom Foundations. There are no redeals in Box Kite. The game is won after all cards have been moved to the Foundations.
