There are plenty of variations on the Napoleon, so you may not agree on this one. Note that "Napoleon On St. Helena" is another game, namely Forty Thieves.

All cards are dealt to eight piles. All cards are open.
There are four temporary positions.
You may only move one card at a time.
On the table, you may build down, in alternating colors.
On the foundations, you build up, following suit.
Any card may be played on a free space.
Any one card may be played on a temporary position, but you may not build other cards on it.
If you can play all cards on the foundations, you have won the game.

Try to keep the temporary positions free. Use them for moving suits of cards from one place to another.

This Napoleon mostly follows the rules in "Lägga patiens". The reason why I implemented it however, was that Richard M. Prentice asked for a Mac version of a game called "Freecell", and when I asked him how it worked, I recognized it as Napoleon.

Seahaven Towers, Intelligence Test and its variation Ingis' Intelligence Test are fairly closely related to Napoleon.
