Solitaire Rules

  • The four Aces are placed face up in a row to become the foundations.

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

  • Build up in suit from Ace to King (for example, a 2 can be played only on an Ace).

Tableau (12 piles of 4 cards each)

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

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

  • Only one card at a time can be moved.

  • Spaces can't be filled.

  • Unlimited redeals are permitted until the game is blocked or won. The cards are collected, without shuffling them, starting from the lower-right tableau pile to the upper-left pile. If no moves are made, the cards after the redeal will be the same as before. Thus the game is blocked when there are no more possible moves on the tableau.
