Solitaire Rules

Foundations
(1 pile)

• Discard every "hit" card here (see below).

Stock
(8 columns of 5 cards each)

• Deal cards one by one to the waste pile, counting at the same time according to the regular sequences of the cards. Call "Ace" for the first card, "Two" for the second, and so on. After the "King" (the thirteenth card), the cycle begins again and the next card corresponds to the "Ace", and so on through the deck. There are four cycles (1-13) in a deck of cards.

• When the rank of a card dealt corresponds to the value called (for example, suppose you count "Ace, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six" and as you say "Six", you deal a 6) it is a "hit" and you get to discard the card to the foundation.

• When all the cards have been dealt, start another deal counting from where you just left off. For example, if the last card was counted as a 10, count the top card dealt right after it as a Jack.

• Unlimited redeal are permitted until the game is blocked or won (the game is considered lost if you go through the entire deck twice without a "hit").

Waste
(1 pile)

• The top card is available for play to the foundation.
