Solitaire Rules
Foundations
-
The
foundations are
not built directly.
-
The 10
piles are
tableau
and foundations at
the same time and all building is on the
tableau.
-
When a
playable sequence (an entire
suite of 13 cards) becomes exposed it is automatically moved to a
foundation.
-
The
game is won if all 8 sequences are discarded (when you discard
the whole deck in 8 sequences and nothing is on the tableau).
The Joker
-
Whenever the Joker becomes available, it may be played as a "wild" card.
-
The Joker can be moved as a single card to any tableau pile. Cards in correct sequence are then built on the Joker.
-
The Joker, no matter how deep it is in a column, can also be moved along with a suit sequence under or above it.
Tableau (Ten columns with six cards in the first four columns and five cards in the remaining ones. The top card of each column is face up.)
-
Build
down
regardless of
suit (for example, a 5
can be played on a 6).
-
The top
card of each pile is available for play on another
tableau pile.
-
Cards of
the same suit and in
descending sequence may be moved as a unit to another pile (groups
of cards not of the same
suit
cannot be moved).
-
Nothing
can be placed on an Ace (a King cannot move, except to a blank space).
-
Spaces may
be filled with any available card or packed
sequence.
Stock (Fifty cards)
