Solitaire Rules

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

• Build up in suit from Ace to King (for example, a 2 can be played only on an Ace).

Tableau (3 columns)

• In the left column: build down regardless of suit (for example, a 5 can be played on a 6). The first card must be one rank lower than the card in the central column. For example, if in the central column there is a 5, you can play any 4.

• In the right column: build up regardless of suit (for example, a Jack can be played on a 10). The first card must be one rank higher than the card in the central column. For example, if in the central column there is a 5, you can play any 6.

• Cards in the central column can be moved only when there is no card to its left and right.

• The top card of each row is available for play to another tableau column or to the foundations.

• Spaces in the central column may be filled with any available card.

Stock

• Turn up one card at a time from the stock to the waste by clicking.

• There is no redeal.

Waste (1 pile)

• The top card is available for play to the foundations or to the tableau.
