There are 8 stacks of cards, 4 freecells, and 4 foundations.
The game is played with one deck.

At the beginning of play, the cards are dealt to the stacks
(4*7+4*6). The faces of all the cards are visible at the beginning
of play.

A freecell can hold one single card.
-
The foundations are built from ace to king and the object of the
game is to move all the cards to the foundations.

A card can be placed on top of a card that is of the opposite
colour, and is higher in rank by 1, assuming the latter is at
the top of a stack.

An empty stack may be filled with any card.

Moving a card from a stack to a vacant freecell.

Moving a card from a freecell to a parent card on a stack.
-
Moving a card from the top of a stack, on top of a parent
card on a different stack.
