Solitaire Rules

Tableau

Left Tableau (Twelve cards in four rows of three) and Right Tableau (Twelve cards in four rows of three)

  • Build up or down regardless of suit. For example, a 10 can be played either on a 9 or on a Jack).

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

  • Only one card at a time can be moved.

  • Spaces are automatically filled from the waste.

Cells (Four cells in the central column)

  • The Jacks will go to the foundations through the four cells in the central column.

  • A Jack can be moved up only when on the left and on the right of the central column (cells) all the cards are of the same suit of the Jack (for example: the Jack can be moved to the foundations when there are four cards in the third column of the left tableau and four cards in the first column of the right tableau). See the scheme below:
    Left tableau   Right tableau
    X X J X X
    X X J X X
    X X J X X
    X X J X X

  • The game is won if the four Jacks reach the foundations before the game is blocked.
