Solitaire Rules
Tableau
(4
rows of 13 cards each)
-
Build all the cards on the
tableau regardless of
suit, doubling the value of the card that is already placed in the corresponding
column. If the double of a card exceeds 13, the excess of the double over 13 denotes the card required.
Example. If the tableau card is a 6, you can play a 12
(Queen) on it. The double of 12 (Queen) is 24. This is 11 more
than 13 and the next required card must be an 11 (Jack). The
vertical sequence of cards is the following:
2, 4, 8, 3, 6, Q (12),
J (11), 9, 5, 10, 7, A
-
The last
column is reserved for the four Kings.
-
The game is won if the three
tableau
rows are completed before the
stock is exhausted.
