Solitaire Rules

Tableau (148 cards in 11 columns)

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

• When an entire suite of 13 cards becomes exposed, it is automatically removed from the tableau.

• Any card, regardless of where it is in a column, can be moved together with the overlapping cards.

• Spaces may be filled only with a King, a King-sequence or a King with any overlapping cards.

• A King cannot move, except to an empty space.

• Nothing can be placed on an Ace.

• The game is won if the three entire decks in all twelve suites are discarded and nothing is left on the tableau.

Reserve (8 cards)

• After all possible moves are made, the eight cards in this pile are dealt onto the first eight columns of the tableau to create more possibilities.

• There is no redeal.
