Solitaire Rules
Reserve (Eight piles, four red and four black, at the top, with one card each)
-
Any reserve card can be played to any foundation only if the foundation below it already contains at least one card.
-
When
the cards in the foundation piles arrive at one rank below the
reserve card above them, the reserve card is placed on the
foundation, completing a pack of 13 cards.
Foundations (Eight piles, in the middle)
-
Build up in color. For example, a 2 can be played on an Ace.
-
The first card must be a tableau card that is of the same color and one rank higher than the corresponding card in the reserve row.
Tableau (Eight piles, at the bottom, of twelve cards each)
Redeal
-
After all possible plays have been made, click the Redeal button. Twenty-four redeals are allowed.
-
The cards in the first pile, except the bottom card, are dealt to each of the other tableau piles in succession.
-
If the play is blocked again, the cards in the second pile are dealt to the remaining tableau piles, then the third, and so on.
