Great solitaire game I have on an old computer from Galaxy Software, which evidently is no longer available. I'd love to have it in Green Felt. One deck, dealt in seven columns with one card in first column, two in the second, et cetera to seven in the seventh. Seven cards along the bottom of the playing area, and one in one of the four building areas at the top of the playing area, the foundation card. The remaining 36 cards are in a pile at the top left of the playing area.
Cards can be moved in the columns by building down in alternating colors, and empty columns are filled with a card one lower in denomination than the founding card. Foundations are built up in suit sequence. When no more moves are possible, seven new cards are dealt from the pile. Game ends when all cards are in the building area by suits.

I looked this up on Wikipedia. An interesting historical quote "The Strand Magazine in 1909, who described "The Agnes" as "by far the best and most interesting one-pack Patience which has yet been invented."
@sierrarose, you are amazing... a wonderful treasure chest of information.
@anglais Indeed, @sierrarose is! I wouldn't have occurred to me that Agnes Bernauer was a solitaire game and I wouldn't have Googled that name either.
Thank you for kind words, my fellow GreenFelt players.
