Foundations (8 piles in the first

Tableau (4 rows of 8 cards each)
-
The
foundations are
built exclusively from the cards in the top
row.
-
All the cards in the other 3
rows must ascend through
each row until they reach
the top row before they
can be played.
-
No building on the
tableau.
-
A
space in any
row must be filled
immediately with any card from the
row right below it (not
necessarily the one directly under the
space).
-
A
space in the bottom
row is automatically
filled from the stock
or, when the stock is
exhausted, from the reserve.
Reserve (4 piles)
-
You can move cards from the
tableau to the
reserve until there
are no cards in the stock.
-
When the
stock is exhausted, no
more cards can be transferred from the
tableau to the
reserve.
-
Any
pile can hold only one
card at a time.
-
When the
stock is exhausted, the
reserve cards are used
to automatically fill
spaces
on the tableau.
