Solitaire Rules

  • Any one Queen is removed from the deck and placed in the first tableau pile.

Foundations (16 piles: complete these piles to win the game)

  • Build the Six foundations up regardless of suit from Six to Jack (for example, an 8 can be played on a 7).

  • Build the Five foundations down regardless of suit from Five to Ace, then King (for example, a 4 can be played on a 5).

  • The object is to finish with a row of Jacks, a row of Kings and a row of Queens.

Tableau (Eight columns)

  • Place cards on top of the first Queen until:

  • A Five appears. This is placed on a foundation in the row above the Queens.

  • A Six appears. This is placed on a foundation in the row above the Fives.

  • Each Five and each Six may only be placed above a Queen of their own suit. (For example, if a 5 or a 6 turns up before either Queen, or before the second Queen of that suit has appeared and the foundation above the first Queen has already been filled in, it must be dealt to the tableau).

  • Another Queen appears. It is placed to the right of the first Queen. Cards are then dealt and placed on the second Queen until a third Queen appears. Continue in the same way until the last Queen is dealt and the whole deck is laid out in 8 piles of varying lengths.

  • An uncovered Queen is the equivalent of a temporary space and any available card may be placed on it.

  • The top card of each pile is available for play to the foundations or to an uncovered Queen.

  • No building on the tableau.

Stock

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

  • There is no redeal.
