When empty, the Stock can be restocked any number of times from the Wastepile.

The front-most card on the Wastepile can be played to either the Tableau or Foundations.

 

How to Win

The game is won when each Foundation Pile shows a King.

 

Building the Foundations

Only an Ace can be placed on an empty Foundation Pile.

Build each Foundation Pile in ascending value from Ace to King, with all cards in a Pile sharing the same suit.

 

Building the Tableau Stacks

The Tableau Stacks are used to manage and store cards, before they are eventually moved to the Foundations.

Only face-up cards are playable.

Build each Stack in descending value and alternating color:

Either a single card or a group of cards can be moved from one Stack to another:

Only a King, or a group of cards headed by a King, can be placed on an empty Stack.
