Solitaire Rules
Foundations
(Eight piles)
-
"Ace" foundations: Build up in suit from Ace to King. For example, a 2 can only be played on an Ace.
-
"King" foundations: Build down in suit from King to Ace. For example, a Queen can only be played on a King.
-
Reversal. When the top cards of two foundations of the same suit are in sequence, the cards on the King foundation can be transferred to the Ace foundation in order to obtain a complete suit sequence.
-
Autoplay is available.
Tableau
(Four columns of three cards each and nine columns of four cards each)
-
Build up or down in alternating colors. For example, a 10
can be played either on a 9 or on a Jack.
-
Ranking of cards is not continuous: an Ace may be built only on a 2, a King only on a Queen.
-
The top card of each column is available for play to another tableau column or to the foundations.
-
Only one card at a time can be moved.
-
Spaces can't be filled.
