How to play Duchess Solitaire

Duchess is a complex game that can be won often.

The four foundations at the top are built in ascending order according to suit.
The first card to move to the foundations determines the starting value for all four foundations.
The stock to the upper left can reveal one card at a time. You get two deals.
The four tableau piles to the right can be built in descending order, by alternating color. You can move groups of cards from one tableau pile to another. You can fill blank spaces with any card.
You can play any top card from the tableau to another tableau pile or the foundations.
The foundations and the tableau can wrap ace to king and king to ace.
Move all cards to the foundations to win.
