How to Play
The Eight-Column Start
Using 104 cards (two decks), cards are dealt into eight tableau columns. In Lady Palk, the layout is open, meaning you can see exactly what challenges lie ahead.
Descending Sequences
In the tableau, you must build sequences in descending order. In many variations of Lady Palk, building is regardless of suit, allowing for maximum flexibility while organizing your columns.
Eight Foundation Piles
Your goal is to build up eight foundation piles from Ace to King by suit. Moving cards to foundations early is key to clearing space in your tableau.
Stock and Waste
When you run out of moves in the tableau, draw cards from the stock to the waste pile. Careful management of the waste pile top card is essential for high-level play.
