• Kings are removed individually.
• The value of the King is 13, that of the Queen is 12, that of the Jack is 11, and that of the other cards is their respective numbers (the value of the Ace is 1).
• The matches that can be made are: King (individually), Queen + Ace, Jack + 2, 10 + 3, 9 + 4, 8 + 5 and 7 + 6.
• Cards from the tableau can be matched with other cards from the tableau or with cards from the tableau piles.

Tableau piles

• The top card of each pile can be matched with the top card of another pile or the tableau.
• Building within the tableau piles is not allowed.
• Empty piles cannot be filled with any card.

Waste pile

• When matching 2 cards that add up to 13 (or a single King), they will automatically be moved to the waste pile.
