Solitaire Rules

At the beginning of the game, thirteen cards - from a 7 to a 6 (regardless of suit) are dealt to the thirteen piles to become the foundations.

Foundations (Thirteen piles, initially with one card each)

• Build up regardless of suit from the base card, until each pile contains eight cards. For example, a 5 can be played on a 4.

• The game is won when the top cards of the foundation piles form a sequence, regardless of suit, from Ace to King.

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

Stock

• Turn up one card at a time from the stock.

• One redeal is permitted (two deals in all).

Reserve

• One reserve pile may be formed.

• These cards can played to the foundations at any time.

Waste (One piles)

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