Solitaire Rules
-
The base card for this game will vary: the top left card in the
tableau is called the
"Beak". This one determines the base card
of the foundations.
Foundations (4 piles: complete these piles to win the game)
-
The other 3 cards of the same rank as the "Beak" are placed as starter cards for the
foundations.
-
Build up in
suit (for example, a 5
can be played on a
4)
from the base card to the
rank just below the base card
until each pile contains 13 cards.
-
Ranking of cards is continuous: build Aces after Kings when necessary.
Tableau (7 columns of 7 cards each)
-
Build down in
suit (for example, a 10 can be played only on a Jack).
-
Only the top card of each pile is available for play on the foundations
or moved to any
cell.
-
A packed sequence may be moved as a unit to
another tableau pile.
-
Spaces can be filled only by cards one rank
below the base card
of
the foundations (by King if
foundations start with Aces).
Cells (or Reserves; 7 cells; also called in this game the "Flipper")
