Foundations (Sixteen piles, starting with eight Aces and eight Twos)
-
"Ace" foundations: Build the "Ace" foundations
up in suit by twos (odd numbers) from
A, 3, 5, 7, 9, J to K (for example, a 3 can be played on an Ace).
-
"Two" foundations: Build the "Two" foundations
up in suit by twos (even numbers) from
2, 4, 6, 8, 10 to Q (for example, a 4 can be played on a 2).
-
Autoplay is available.
Tableau (Eight columns, initially with one card each)
-
Build down in suit
by twos (for example, a 10 can be played on a Queen).
-
The top card of each column is available for play to another tableau column or to the foundations.

A packed sequence, or any portion of it, may be moved to another tableau column.

Spaces are automatically filled from the stock. After the stock is exhausted, spaces can be filled only with a King, a Queen, a King–sequence or a Queen–sequence.
