Solitaire Rules

Foundations (Eight piles)

• The foundations are: two Aces dealt at the beginning and six Kings of the remaining three suits placed during the deal.

• Ace foundations: Build up in suit from Ace to King. For example, a 2 can only be played on an Ace.

• For the first three King foundations: build down, regardless of suit (except for the suit of the first Ace foundation) from King to Ace. For example, a Queen can be played on a King.

• For the last three King foundations: build down, regardless of suit (except for the suit of the second Ace foundation) from King to Ace. For example, a Queen can be played on a King.

Tableau (Eight piles, initially with one card each)

• On the two piles at the top, build down regardless of suit. For example, a 3 can be played on an 4. It is not possible to play cards from these piles to the other six piles.

• On the other six piles, build up regardless of suit. For example, a 10 can be played on an 9.

• The top card of each pile is available for play to another tableau pile or to the foundations.

• Spaces may be filled with any available card from the waste.

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 (1 pile)

• The top card is always available for play to the foundations or to the tableau.
