Discard the lower–ranking card(s) of two or more cards of the same suit in the eight exposed cards across the columns.
-
Ace counts higher than King, values running A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. Aces are not discarded.
-
Keep discarding until the top cards are all of different suits, then deal the next eight cards.
-
No building on the tableau.
-
At the end of the game, when the stock is exhausted, spaces may be filled only with Aces.
-
The game is won if only the eight Aces remain in the tableau, one Ace in each column, and the remaining ninety-six lower–ranking cards having been discarded.
Stock
Scoring

Aces Up starts at −64 points because the eight Aces are not discarded from the layout at the end of the game:
(8 cards x 5 points) = 40 points; −104 + 40 = −64 points
-
The
final score is 416, like any other two–deck games.
