Solitaire Rules
-
A 2, 3, and 4 are placed in the first
column of each foundation row.
-
Seven more cards are dealt to the right of the first card to
complete the row.
Foundations (24 piles in 3 rows of 8
cards each: complete these piles to win the game)
-
Build the "Two" foundations
up
in
suit by
threes from
2, 5, 8 to J (for example, a 5
can be played on an 2).
-
Build the "Three" foundations
up
in suit by
threes from
3, 6, 9 to Q (for example, a 6
can be played on a 3).
-
Build the "Four" foundations
up
in suit by
threes from
4, 7, 10 to K (for example, a 7
can be played on a 4).
-
The remaining 2's, 3's and 4's must be placed in the correct
foundation
row according to the card in the first column of the row.
-
No pile can be built up until it is in its proper
foundation
row.
-
foundation
cards dealt in wrong rows may be interchanged if the exchange
results in the cards moving to the correct row. To interchange
two cards - drag and drop one card on the other, or right click
on one of the cards. For example: there is a 3 in the "2" row
and there is a 2 in the "3" row. Right click on either card and
they will exchange places.
-
All
the seven cards to the right of each first
foundation
pile (21 cards in all) are available for play.
-
Aces are dead cards and may be discarded at any time.
-
If
there is a space in a foundation
row, it is not necessary to fill in that space before dealing the
cards to the
reserve column.
Reserve (a row of 8 cards below the
foundations)
-
The
top cards are always available for play to the
foundations
or (if the top card is a two, three or four) to replace cards
moved from the
foundations.
-
Discard Aces from the reserve right after each deal.
-
Spaces are automatically filled from the
stock.
-
Whenever play comes to a standstill, click once on the
stock to
deal eight cards to the
reserve piles (a total of ten deals).
-
There is no redeal.
