Object of the game: Move all the cards to the foundations.

Set-Up: An Ace of each suit is removed from the stock to become the foundations.

Foundation (Eight piles starting with Aces)

• Build up in suit from Ace to King. For example, a 2 can only be played on an Ace.

• Autoplay is available.

Tableau (Eight columns, initially with two cards each)

• Build down in suit. For example, a 10 can be played on a Jack.

• The top card of each column is available for play to the foundations or to another tableau column.

• Only one card at a time can be moved.

• Spaces are automatically filled with the top card of the reserve. After the reserve is exhausted, spaces may be filled from the waste: never from the tableau.

Reserve (One pile of twenty-six cards)

• The top card is always available for play to the foundations or the tableau.

Stock

• Turn up one card at a time, from the stock to the waste, by clicking.

• One redeal is permitted (two deals in all).

Waste (One pile)

• The top card is always available for play to the foundations or the tableau.
