Solitaire Rules

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

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

Reserve (the "backbone": 10 pairs and a single card at the bottom to form the "coccyx")

• Only the "coccyx" is available for play to the tableau (the "ribs") or to the foundations.

• The bottom card of the "backbone" (the "coccyx") is available for play. Once this card has been played, the pair above it become available for play, and so on up.

• Spaces are not filled.

Tableau (the "ribs": 4 individual cards on either side of the "backbone")

• Build down in suit (for example, a 10 can be played on a Jack) from the stock, the waste or from the "backbone".

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

• Spaces may be filled only from the waste, never from the "backbone".

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

• The top card is available for play to the foundations or to the tableau (the "ribs").
