Layout

Box Kite has eight Foundations located in the center. The 8 foundation piles are divided into 2 groups. There are four piles located on the top that start with a King, and build down in suit.

Here is an example: K♥, Q♥, J♥, 10♥...

The other four piles start with an Ace and build up in suit.

Here is an example: A♠, 2♠, 3♠, 4♠...

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.

Here is and example: 10♥, J♣, 10♠, 9♦, 8♦...

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.

gollark: ddg! spinlock
gollark: Random hardware initialization and detection, probably busy loops to spite you, sort of thing.
gollark: Due to different design constraints, fewer peripherals, and less overhead I guess.
gollark: Yes, exactly, they're typically much much faster.
gollark: Perhaps "serious" computer systems on hardware when they were made never booted that quickly, but special-purpose devices easily take less than 5 seconds for bootup.
