Rules
Set-Up: A King is removed from the deck and placed as the first foundation.
Foundation (Eight piles)
-
After the King, foundations must be placed in strict sequence
from Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7 to 6, as they become available. For
example, the Jack foundation cannot be placed until the Queen
foundation is in place.
-
These eight cards from K to 6 are called "origins". All
"origins" must be placed, in order, before foundation building
can start.
-
Build down, regardless of suit until each pile contains thirteen
cards. The end product is a row of eight piles of thirteen
cards, in order from A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8 and 7.
-
Ranking of cards is continuous: build Kings after Aces.
Stock
-
Turn up one card at a time, from the stock to the waste, by clicking.
-
One redeal is permitted (two deals in all).
Waste
