Foundations

• Foundations cannot be built upon directly. When there is a sequence of 13 cards built down in suit from King to Ace in the tableau piles, it will automatically be moved to the foundations.

Tableau piles

• Build down regardless of suit.
• The top card of each pile can be played onto another pile.
• Sequences of cards (built down in suit) may be moved as a unit from one pile to another.
• When a face-down card is exposed, it will automatically be turned face up.
• Empty piles can be filled with any exposed card or with a sequence of cards (built down in suit).
• Once there is a complete sequence of 13 cards built down in suit from King to Ace, it will be automatically moved to the foundations.

Stock pile

• Tap the stock pile to deal 1 face-up card to each tableau pile.
• All empty spaces must be filled before a deal.
