Solitaire Rules
Foundations (4 piles: complete these
piles to win the game)
-
Build
up in
suit from
Ace to King (for example, a 2
can be played on an Ace).
-
You
can play to the foundations only the cards from the 4
tableau columns directly below.
Tableau (8 columns)
-
Build
down in
alternating colors (for example, a 10
can be played on a Jack).
-
Ranking of cards is not continuous: an Ace may be built only on a 2, not
on a King.
-
The top card of each pile is available for play to another
tableau pile or to the
foundations (to the two foundations directly above them).
-
Any
face-up card, no matter how deep it is in a
column, may be
moved to make a build. All the covering cards are moved with it
as a unit.
-
Spaces may be filled only with a King, a
King-sequence or a King with any overlapping cards.
