Solitaire Rules
Foundations (10 piles)
-
Place the cards from the reserve, one by one, on any
foundation pile of your choosing.
-
Once placed, a card can be moved to any foundation
pile.
-
The 10 foundation
cards must be in an ascending sequence from left to right, following the starting
card. (For example: if the first card placed is a 3, the cards that
follow need to be a 4, 5, 6, etc.).
-
Ranking of cards is continuous: build Aces
after Kings when necessary.
-
When a playable sequence (an entire suite of 10 cards) becomes exposed, it is automatically
removed from the game.
-
The game is won if the 100 cards of the stock are discarded (in 10 sequences of 10 cards each) with 8
cards remaining in the
reserve.
Reserve (15 cards in 3 rows of 5 cards each)
-
These cards are available for play to the foundations only.
-
Spaces are
automatically filled from the stock (after the
stock is exhausted, spaces are not filled).
-
There is
no movement in the reserve itself.
Jokers (4 cards)
-
One or more Jokers can be moved to the foundations at any time to replace of one or more missing cards.
