Rules

Foundations

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

Tableau piles

  • Build down regardless of suit.
  • The top card of each pile can be played onto another pile.
  • Sequences of cards (built down in suit) may be moved as a unit from one pile to another.
  • Empty piles can be filled with any exposed card or with a sequence of cards (built down in suit).
  • Once there is a complete sequence of 13 cards built down in suit from King to Ace, it will be automatically moved to the foundations.
