How to Play
1
The Layout
One deck of 52 cards is used. 12 cards are dealt face-up into 12 tableau piles (one card each). The four Aces are pulled out immediately to form the foundations.
2
Foundation Goal
Build the four foundation piles up by suit, from Ace to King. Unlike many other games, the Aces start the game already in place, giving you a clear starting point.
3
Same-Suit Tableau
Build tableau columns down in the same suit (e.g., a Spade 9 can only be placed on a Spade 10). Only the top card of each pile is playable.
4
Stock and Spaces
Deal cards one at a time from the stock to the waste pile. Empty tableau spaces can be filled with any card from the waste or other tableau piles.
