Solitaire Rules
Set Up:
-
At the start of the game, the player will distribute all 52 cards, one by one, to the 8
tableau
columns. The cards should be distributed to maximize a game win.
-
The labels above each
tableau
column indicate how many cards must be added or remain to be added to each
column. The first four
columns must be formed with 7 cards each, the last four
columns with 6 cards each.
Foundations
(4 piles; top right
side of the screen: complete these piles to win the game)
Tableau
(8 columns, below foundations
and cells)
Build down in suit
(for example, a 10
can be played on a Jack).
Only the top card of each pile is available for play to the foundations, or can also be moved to any
cells.
-
Move groups of cards if they are in
sequence and if there are enough free cells that the cards
could be moved individually.
-
Spaces may be filled only with a King or a King-sequence.
Cells
(or Reserve: 4
cells)
-
These are the "cells". These cells
are storage locations for cards being played to the and the tableau.
-
Cards in these cells can be moved
to the
foundations
and the tableau.
-
Only one card at a time is allowed
in each cell.
