Solitaire Rules

Tableau

(24 cards in 4 rows of 6)

  • Cards may be played to any available gap in the tableau. At the start of the game, there are four gaps in the central tableau column.

  • Cards can be moved according to chess rules as follows:
    King. The King may move one place at a time in any direction: horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
    Queen. The Queen may move any distance in any row or column or diagonally.
    Knight. The Knight (Jack) has a peculiar move as "from corner to diagonally-opposite corner of a rectangle three squares by two"; in other words, a Jack moves one place up, down or sideways plus one place diagonally.

  • All the Jacks, Queens and Kings must be arranged, regardless of suit, the reds at the left and the blacks at the right, as shown in the following scheme:
    Red   Black
    K Q J J Q K
    K Q J J Q K
    K Q J J Q K
    K Q J J Q K

  • You win if all the cards are correctly arranged and your score is 100 points or more.
