  • Build up in suit (for example, a 5can be played on a 4) from the base card to the rank just below the base card until each pile contains 13 cards.

  • Ranking of cards is continuous: build Aces after Kings when necessary.

  • The top card is available for play to another tableau pile or to the foundations.

  • A packed sequence, or any portion of it, may be moved to another tableau pile.
