  Ace).

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

Tableau (32 piles)

• You can build up or down regardless of suit any card based on the card in the row right above it (for example, you can play a Jackor a 9on a 10 ).

• Once a sequence is started, the direction may not be changed for that particular column.

• You may play any card to the first tableau row if the space is empty.

• Each pile can hold only one card at a time.

• Only the card exposed at the end of each column may be played to the foundations.

Reserve (4 piles, in the centre)

• These piles are storage locations for cards being played to the foundations and the tableau.

• Reserves can hold only one card at a time.

Stock

Waste (1 pile)

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