Game time: Medium Difficulty level: Medium Skill level: Moderate Chance of winning: Low (about 1 in 10)

Object of the game: To move all the cards to the foundations.

Solitaire Rules

• The four Aces are placed face up in a column to become the foundations.

Foundations

(8 piles: complete these piles to win the game)

• Build the Ace foundations up in suit from Ace to King (for example, a 2 can be played on an Ace).

• Build the King foundations down in suit (for example, a Queen can be played on a King).

• Reversal. When the top cards of two foundations of the same suit are in sequence, the cards on the King foundation can be transferred to the Ace foundation in order to obtain a complete suit sequence.

Tableau

(4 columns of 3 cards each and 9 columns of 4 cards each)

• Build up or down in suit (for example, a 10 can be played either on a 9 or on a Jack).

• Ranking of cards is not continuous: an Ace may be built only on a 2, a King only on a Queen.

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

• Only one card at a time can be moved.

• Spaces are not filled.
