Solitaire Rules

Foundations
(8 piles: complete these piles to win the game)

• The base foundations cards will be determined by the first card dealt: If, for example, the first card dealt is a 7, the left foundations will begin with an 8 and the right foundations with a 6.

• When the other ranking card as the base foundation appear during the deal, place them over it.

• Build the left foundations up in suit until each pile contains 13 cards.

• Build the right foundations down in suit until each pile contains 13 cards.

• Reversal. When the top cards of two foundations of the same suit are in sequence, one or more cards of one pile may be transferred to the other as advantageous.

Tableau
(4 columns)

• Build up or down in suit.

• Ranking of cards is continuous: build King after Ace when necessary.

• The top card of each column is available for play to another tableau pile or to the foundations.

• Only one card at a time can be moved. Deal cards, one at a time, by clicking on the stock.

Stock

• Turn up one card at a time from the stock to the waste by clicking.

• One redeal is permitted (two deals in all).

Waste
(1 pile)

• The top card is available for play to any tableau column or the foundations.
