Rules

Foundations

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

Tableau piles

  • Build down in alternating colors.
  • The top card of each pile can be played onto another pile.
  • Sequences of cards (built down in alternating colors) 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 alternating colors).
  • Once there is a complete sequence of 13 cards built down in alternating colors 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.
  • When the stock pile is exhausted, empty piles cannot be filled with any card.
