Solitaire Rules
Set Up
-
At the start of the game, the player will distribute all 44 cards of the bottom
pile, one by one, to the 10
tableau
columns. The cards should be distributed to maximize a game win.
-
The labels above each
tableau
column indicate how many cards must be added or remain to be added to each
column. The first four
columns must be formed with 5 cards each, the last six
columns with 4 cards each.
Foundations
-
The
foundations are
not built directly.
-
The 10
piles are both
tableau
and foundations at
the same time and all building is on the
tableau.
-
When a
sequence (an entire
suite of 13 cards) becomes exposed it is automatically moved to a
foundation.
-
The
game is won if the entire deck in all eight
suites is
discarded and nothing is left on the
tableau.
Tableau (10 columns)
-
Build
down
regardless of
suit (for example, a 5
can be played on a 6).
-
The top
card of each column is available for play on another
tableau
column.
-
Cards of
the same suit and in
descending sequence may be moved as a unit, in whole or in part,
to another column (groups of cards not of the
same suit cannot be moved).
-
Nothing
can be placed on an Ace (a King cannot move, except to a empty space).
-
Spaces may
be filled with any available card or packed
sequence.
