Solitaire Rules

Foundation (One pile)

• The first card dealt from the stock is the base for the foundation
  which will be built up, regardless of suit, from the base card in 4 series of thirteen cards.

Tableau (20 cards in 4 rows of 5 each)

• Only the cards in the lower row can be moved to the foundation.

• Build up or down regardless of suit, horizontally, vertically or diagonal.

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

• Every time you free a space by moving a card, all the cards above descend one row and the top space is automatically filled from the stock or the waste.

• As cards move up or down, all the cards in the same pile (below them) move.

• Cards from the lower row can also be moved if advantageous.

Stock

• Turn up one card at a time from the stock to the waste by clicking.

• Two redeals are permitted (three deals in all).

Waste (One pile)

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