Solitaire Rules

Foundations

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

  • The base card for this game will vary. Examine the reserve (4 fans of 3 cards) and choose one of the four exposed cards to be the first foundation.

  • Build up in suit (for example, a 5 can 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.

Tableau

(4 columns)

  • Build down in alternating colors (for example, a 10 can be played on a Jack).

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

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

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

  • Spaces may be filled with available reserve cards and, after the reserve is exhausted, with the waste.

Reserve

(12 cards, in 4 fans of 3)

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

  • No card may be played to the reserve.

  • Spaces are not filled.

Stock

  • Turn up one card at a time from the stock to the waste by clicking.

  • One redeal is permitted (two deals in all).

Waste

(1 pile)
