Solitaire Rules
Tableau (195 cards in 13 columns)
-
Build down in suit (for example, a 10 can only be played on a Jack).
-
When an entire suite of 13 cards becomes exposed, it is automatically removed from the tableau.
-
Any face-up card, no matter how deep it is in a column, may be moved to make a build. All the covering cards are moved with it as a unit.
-
Spaces may be filled only with a King, a King–sequence or a King with any overlapping cards.
-
A King cannot move, except to an empty space.
-
Nothing can be placed on an Ace.
-
The game is won if the four entire decks in all sixteen suites are discarded and nothing is left on the tableau.
Reserve (13 cards)
