Solitaire Rules

• The base card for this game will vary. One card from the stock is dealt to the first foundation. This card determines the starting rank of the other three foundations.

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

• Build in suit regardless of rank.

• On the first foundation, any card of the same suit as the first card dealt may be played.

• On the lower foundations, the first card played must be of the same rank as the first card in the first foundation.

• After that, on the lower foundations, only play cards whose rank already exists in the pile immediately above it ("osmosis").

Reserve (4 fans of 4 cards each)

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

• Spaces are not filled.

Stock

• Click once on the stock to deal a packet of three cards at a time to the waste.

• Unlimited redeals are permitted until the game is blocked or won.

Waste (One pile)

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