Foundations

• At the beginning, choose one card of the first 4 tableau piles and move it to the foundations. This card will be the base card, and the remaining foundations will start with cards of the same rank.
• Build up in alternating colors 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

• Once you choose the base card for the foundations, empty piles will automatically be filled with cards from the stock pile.
• Build down in alternating colors only with cards from the discard pile or from other piles.
