General rules of the game

The goal of this game of solitaire is very simple: Get all the cards to the top four play piles piles.  Sounds easy right?  Cards are played from low to high in alternating colors on the upper 4 play piles starting with a random card and high to low in alternating colors on the lower play fields.
