Tableau piles

  • Move the revealed card under the pile at the corresponding hour (Ace, 1 o’clock; Two, 2 o’clock… Jack, 11 o’clock and Queen, 12 o’clock). Kings are placed under the central pile.
  • When a card is placed under a pile, the top card of that pile will automatically be turned face up and will be the next card in play.
  • Only the last card revealed can be played onto another tableau pile.
  • The game is lost if all 4 Kings are revealed and face-down cards are still present.
