Solitaire Rules

Foundations (4 piles: complete these piles to win the game)

You may build the foundation piles either in an ascending or descending sequence - whichever offers the greatest advantage. You cannot reverse the order once you've started to build a foundation.
Build in suit from the base card to the rank just below or just above the base card until each pile contains 13 cards.
Ranking of cards is continuous: build Ace after King when necessary.

Left Tableau (25 cards in 5 rows of 5) and Right Tableau (25 cards in 5 rows of 5)

Only the cards in the extreme left-hand and extreme right-hand position are available for play.
Available cards may be played to the foundations, to another available card (either in an ascending or descending sequence), to spaces which occur when all the cards in a horizontal row have been played (either in the right or left tableau), or to the cells.

Left Reserve (4 cards) and Right Reserve (4 cards)

Only the cards in the extreme left-hand and extreme right-hand position are available for play.
Available cards may be played to the foundations, to another available card (either in an ascending or descending sequence), to spaces which occur when all the cards in a horizontal row have been played (either in the right or left tableau), or to the cells.
Spaces are not filled.

Cells (2 cells)

These cells are storage (holding) locations for cards being played to the foundations and the tableau.
Any two available cards may, at any time, be placed here.
Cards in these cells may be moved to the foundations and the tableau only when all the cards in the reserve of the same side as itself have been played.
Cells can hold only one card at a time.
