Solitaire Rules

• The base card for this game will vary. At the beginning of the game examine the tableau and choose one of the 8 exposed cards as the first foundation.

Foundations (4 piles; top right side of the screen: complete these piles to win the game)

• Build up in suit from the base card to the rank just below the base card until each pile contains 13 cards.

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

Cells (or Reserves; 4 cells, top left)

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

• Cells can only hold one card at a time.

Tableau (8 columns, below foundations and cells)

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

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

• The top card of each pile 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.

• Spaces may be filled with any card.
