Solitaire Rules

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

  • The base card for this game will vary. After dealing the layout, examine the tableau and choose one of the exposed cards to move to 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 (8 columns of 5 cards and 2 columns of 2 cards)

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

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

  • The top card is available for play on another tableau pile or on the foundations.

  • Only one card at a time can be moved in the tableau.

  • Spaces may be filled with any available card.
