Stalactites (solitaire)

[1] The game is similar to Freecell, but differs in the way that cards are built onto the foundations and packed on the tableau.

Stalactites was invented by Albert Morehead and Geoffrey Mott-Smith for their 1950 treatise on patience games and given the alternative names of Old Mole and Grampus.

Once the player makes up his mind, he begins building on the foundations from the cards on the tableau.

The cards in the tableau should be placed in the foundations according to the building method the player decides to use.

The four starting cards in the foundations don't have to be of the same rank; so results vary with each won game.
