Solitaire Rules
Set-Up: The four Aces are extracted from the stock, becoming the foundations.

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

• Build up in suit from Ace to King (for example, a 2 can be played only on an Ace).

Reserve
(20 cards in 4 rows of 5 cards each: the "Carpet")

• These cards are available for play to the foundations.

• Each pile may contain only one card: no building on the reserve.

• Spaces are automatically filled from the stock or the waste (this is called "repairing the holes in the carpet").

Stock

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

• There is no redeal.

Waste
(1 pile)

• The top card is available for play to the foundations or to the reserve.
