Foundations

• Build up in suit from the base card until each pile contains 13 cards.
• The ranking of cards is continuous, building Ace after King when necessary.
• Cards are moved individually.

Tableau piles

• Build the first 4 piles down in alternating colors. Build the remaining 5 piles down in suit.
• The ranking of cards is continuous, building King after Ace when necessary.
• The top card of each pile can be played onto another tableau pile or onto the foundations.
• Sequences of cards may be moved as a unit from one pile to another if they form a legal descending sequence in that pile. For example, a sequence down in alternating colors may be moved from the left piles (first 4 tableau piles) to the right piles (last 5 tableau piles) since that is the legal sequence for the left piles. However, a sequence down in alternating colors cannot be moved from the right piles to the left ones since that sequence is not legal on the right piles.
• Empty piles can be filled with any exposed card or with a legal sequence of cards.

Reserve pile

• The top card can be played onto the tableau piles or onto the foundations.
• When a face-down card is exposed, it will automatically be turned face up.

Stock pile

• Tap the stock pile to deal 1 face-up card to the discard pile.
• 2 redeals are allowed.

Discard pile

• The top card can be played onto the tableau piles or onto the foundations.
