Solitaire Rules
Foundations
-
The
foundations are
not built directly.
-
The 16
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 all 16 sequences are discarded (when you discard
the four decks in 16 sequences and nothing is on the tableau).
Tableau (14 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 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 blank space).
-
Spaces may
be filled with any available card or packed
sequence.
