1 Deck. Hard (15%). Mostly Skill.
To move all the cards to the foundations.
• | 4 foundation piles (top right) - build up in suit from the rank of first card dealt to the first pile, wrapping from King to Ace as necessary, until each pile contains 13 cards. |
• | reserve (top left) - storage locations for cards. Only the top card is available for play. No building. At the start of the game 7 cards are dealt here. When the reserve is empty, it may be used to store a single card. |
• | 9 tableau piles (below foundations and reserve) - build down by alternate color. Only one card at a time can be moved. Fill spaces with any card. At the start of the game 8 cards are dealt face up to the 1st, 2nd, 8th and 9th piles, 4 cards are dealt face up to the 3rd and 7th piles, and 2 cards are dealt face up to the 4th and 6th piles. The 5th pile is left empty. |
