Hive mind.... does this game have a name? Version of Solitaire with same layout as Klondike but without Foundation piles. Cards are collected in descending order King to Ace and alternating colours. Only Kings (or piles from tableau starting with a King) can be moved to empty tableau spaces.

I had a dream recently where everyone had codenamed or nicknames. One of them was GI Jane-germouse (a combination of GI Jane and Dangermouse) and I'm still thinking about that days later

Listening to the Dookie 4-track demos for the 30th anniversary and refusing to acknowledge that it came out 30 years ago.... the 90s were like ten years ago right? Right?
