Solitaire Rules

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).

Tableau

(4 columns)

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

  • Spaces are not filled, except in the course of the next deal.

Reserve

(2 cards face down)

  • Only the card exposed at the end may be played to the foundations. It may not be placed on the tableau.

  • After the stock is exhausted, the reserve cards are turned face up and spread out in two columns, all of which - no matter how deep it is in the column - are available for play to the foundations.

Stock

  • Click once on the stock to deal a row of four cards to the tableau and, at the same time, two more face down cards to the reserve.

  • Three redeals are permitted (four deals in all).

  • In the last (fourth) deal, a row of four cards is dealt to the tableau - none to the reserve.
