Solitaire Rules
- At the beginning of the game, four cards are dealt to the first
row on the
tableau.
Foundations
-
The
foundations are
not built directly.
-
The 8
piles are
tableau
and foundations at
the same time and all building is on the
tableau.
-
When a
sequence (an entire
suite of 13 cards) becomes exposed it is automatically moved to a
foundation.
-
The
game is won if all 8 sequences are discarded (when you discard
the two decks in 8 sequences and nothing is on the tableau).
Tableau
(Eight columns)
-
Build
down
regardless of
suit (for example, a 5
can be played on a 6).
-
The top
card of each column is available for play on another
tableau
column.
-
Cards of
the same suit and in
descending sequence may be moved as a unit to another
column (groups
of cards not of the same
suit cannot be moved).
-
Nothing
can be placed on an Ace (a King cannot move, except to an empty space).
-
Spaces may
be filled with any available card or packed
sequence.
Stock
Waste
(One pile)
- The top card is available for play to the
tableau.
