    [36mStreets and alleys is a rather frustrating variant of the solitaire
game best known as "Beleaguered Castle".  The object of the game is to
end up with all cards on the four foundations (labeled A, B, C, and D).

    The top card of any of the 8 "tableau" piles (labeled 1 through 8) is
available to be moved.  On any of these piles, you build downward in rank
ignoring suit. (For example, you can move any Jack onto any Queen - suit
does not matter on either the Queen or Jack).

   On the foundation piles, labeled A through D, you build upward in suit
from the Ace through the King.  (For example, you must first play an ACE
OF DIAMONDS on the foundation pile labeled "A".  After the ACE has been
played, the only valid card that can be played on pile "A" is the 2 of
diamonds, then the three of diamonds, etc.)

    A space made by removing the entire row on the tableau can be filled
by any card.  If you can think far enough ahead to find a way to clear 
an entire row before moving your first card, the game may be playable.
(If not, well, the N key will deal you a new game - I use it a LOT.) 

   The "official" odds of winning a game are said to be 1 in 4.  I would
place the odds at closer to 1 in 10 - it always seems that the card you 
"absolutely need to have next" is buried at the bottom of the pile under 
a King.  (It happens this way when you play with a real deck of cards, 
as well!)
