Tableau

• Match exposed cards that add up to 13 to move them to the waste pile.
• 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 discard piles.

Stock pile

• Tap the stock pile to deal 1 face-up card to the first discard pile. If there is a card in the first discard pile, it will be moved to the second discard pile automatically.
• 2 redeals are allowed.

Discard piles

• The top card is available to match with another card from the other discard pile or from the tableau.

Waste pile
