Solitaire Rules

• At the start of the game, the player will have to distribute all 52 cards, one by one, to the 8 tableau columns. The cards should be distributed to maximally facilitate 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)

• Build up in suit from Ace to King (for example, a 2 can be played on an Ace).

Cells (or Reserve; 4 cells, top left)

• These are the "cells". These cells are storage locations for cards being played to the foundations and the tableau.

• Cells can only hold one card at a time.

Tableau (8 piles, below foundations and cells)

• Build down in alternating colors (for example, a 10 can be played on a Jack).

• The top card of each column is available for play on another tableau column, the foundations or the cells.

• Move groups of cards if they are in sequence and if there are enough free cells that the cards could be moved individually.
