Solitaire Rules

Set-Up: An Ace of each suit is removed from the stock to become the foundations.

Foundations (Eight piles starting with Aces)

• Build up in suit from Ace to King. For example, a 2 can only be played on an Ace.

Tableau (Eight columns, initially with one card each)

For the first two clicks on the stock

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

• Spaces and vacancies created by a card moved to the foundations are automatically filled from the stock.

After the first two clicks on the stock

• 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 to another tableau column or to the foundations.

• A packed sequence, or any portion of it, may be moved to another tableau column.

• Spaces can be filled only with a King or a King–sequence.

Stock

• The first two times, click once on the stock to deal a new row of cards to the tableau.

• Then, turn up one card at a time from the stock to the waste by clicking.

• There is no redeal.

Waste (One pile)

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