Winning

The game is won when all of the cards are moved to the Foundation, with a pile built for each card suit type, and with each pile in Ace to King rank order.

The Layout

The Deal

7 Tableau piles are created by dealing cards from the deck. The first pile is dealt one face up card. The second pile is dealt one face down card and one face up card. The third pile is dealt two face down cards and one face up card. The fourth pile is dealt three face down cards and one face up card. Etc. The remaining cards are dealt face up in sequence from the second pile through the last pile until all cards are dealt.

Game Play

You may move any uncovered, face up Ace to any empty Foundation pile.

You may move any uncovered, face up card to the top of a Foundation pile if that card is of the same suit color and is next in ascending rank order.

You may move any stack of face up cards from a Tableau pile to any other empty Tableau pile during Easy Play. During Hard Play the stack of face up cards must start with a King.

You may move any stack of face up cards from a Tableau pile to the end of another Tableau pile if the first card in the moved stack of cards is of a different suit color and is next in descending rank order.

You may turn any top, face down Tableau pile card face up by left-clicking on it.

Notes

Moves from a Foundation pile to a Tableau pile are allowed.
