Solitaire Rules

Set Up

• The card in the top left corner of the layout becomes the first foundation. Called the starting card or base cards, it changes relating to any shuffle.

• The other three corners are the remaining foundations. Each corner is a different suit. Cards of the same rank as the first foundation need to be placed there.

Foundations
(4 piles, corners of layout: complete these piles to win the game)

• Build up in suit (for example, a 5 can be played on a 4) from the base cards to the rank just below the base cards until each pile contains 13 cards.

• Ranking of cards is continuous: build Aces after Kings when necessary.

Reserve
(5 piles, forming a cross in the layout)

• Build down regardless of suit (for example, a 5 can be played on a 6).

• Ranking of cards is continuous: build Kings after Aces when necessary.

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

• Spaces may be filled with any available card.

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.
