Solitaire Rules Foundations
-
The foundations are not built directly.
-
The 12 piles are tableau
and foundations at the
same time and all building is on the tableau.
-
When a playable sequence (an entire
suite of
13 cards) becomes exposed it is automatically moved to a foundation.
-
The game is won if
all 12 sequences are discarded (when you discard the whole deck in 12 sequences and nothing
is on the tableau).
Tableau (12 columns)
-
Build down regardless of
suit (for example, a 5 can be played on a
6).
-
The top card of each pile is available for play on another
tableau pile.
-
Cards of the
same suit and in descending sequence may be moved as a unit to another pile (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.
