Foundations (12 piles: the "Clock". Complete these piles to win the game)
-
Build up in
suit from the base card until the top card of each
foundation shows the number corresponding to its position on a clock face (the "hour" in a clock in that position). For example, the 5 at the top would build up to the Ace (1 o'clock).

Jack equals 11 o'clock and Queen equals 12 o'clock.

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

The top card of each fan is available for play to another
tableau pile or to the
foundations.
-
Only one card at a time can be moved.
-
Spaces may be filled with any available card.
Stock

After all possible plays have been made, click on the
stock: the fans with less than 3 cards are brought up to 3 cards each, commencing with the
fan representing the hour One, and going around the remaining
fans from left to right. All
fans must be filled before playing.
-
If all the fans
are full, and a card is dealt which is not available for play to the foundations
or to the tableau, it remains in the
waste.
