Solitaire Rules

Foundations (Eight piles)

  • The base foundations cards will be determined by the first card dealt. If, for example, the first card dealt is a 7, the left foundations will begin with an 8 and the right foundations with a 6.

  • When the other ranking card as the base foundation appear during the deal, place them over it.

  • Build the left foundations up in suit until each pile contains thirteen cards.

  • Build the right foundations down in suit until each pile contains thirteen cards.

  • Reversal. When the top cards of two foundations of the same suit are in sequence, one or more cards from one pile may be transferred to the other as advantageous.

  • Autoplay is available.

Tableau (Seven columns)

  • Build up or down in alternating colors.

  • Ranking of cards is continuous: build King after Ace when necessary.

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

  • Only one card at a time can be moved.

Stock

  • Turn up one card at a time, from the stock to the waste, by clicking.

  • One redeal is permitted (two deals in all).

Waste (One pile)

  • The top card is always available for play to any tableau column or the foundations.
