Solitaire Rules

Tableau (Eight columns, initially with one card each)

  • This game has two parts: the first part begins with the first move until there are no cards left in the stock.

First part of the game

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

  • Any Ace (eight in total, two of each suit) and any Two (eight in total, two of each suit) can be moved to the reserve.

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

  • A packed sequence, or any portion of it, may be moved to another tableau column.

  • Nothing can be placed on an Ace. A King cannot move, except to an empty space.

  • Spaces may be filled with any available card or packed sequence.

  • Autoplay is available.

Second part of the gamee

  • When the stock is exhausted, the second part of the game begins.

  • You may now build on both ends of the columns (the tops in ascending, and the bottoms in descending sequences).

  • To build card on the top of a column, simply click on the column while pressing the Ctrl key. The column order will be reversed and a label above the column will remind you of the "ascending" method of building. To return to the original method ("descending"), click again on the column while pressing the Ctrl key.

Reserve (Two columns: one for the Aces and one for the Twos)

  • The top cards of each column are available for play to the tableau.

Cells (Two piles)

  • These two cells are storage (holding) locations for cards being played to the tableau.

  • Cells can hold only one card at a time.

Stock

  • Click once on the stock to deal a new row of cards to the tableau.

  • There is no redeal.

Waste

  • Click once on the stock to deal a new row of cards to the tableau.

  • There is no redeal.
