Solitaire Rules
-
All the 52 cards are dealt face up on the
tableau at the
beginning of the game.
-
The Q,
which represents Isolde, is dealt in the first position and the K,
which represents Tristan, is dealt in the last position.
-
Discard pairs of cards of the same
suit or
rank that are
adjacent horizontally, vertically or diagonally (any two cards which
touch top to bottom, side to side, or diagonally at the corners).
-
When a pair is discarded, remaining cards are moved from right to left
and up from the lower rows to consolidate the
tableau.
-
The game is won if the Queen
and her King
are side by side, other cards having been discarded.
-
Two
redeals are permitted (three deals in all).
