Solitaire Rules

The base card for this game will vary: the top left card in the tableau is called the "Beak". This one determines the base card of the foundations.

Foundations (4 piles: complete these piles to win the game)

The other 3 cards of the same rank as the "Beak" are placed as starter cards for the foundations.
Build up in suit (for example, a 5 can be played on a 4) from the base card to the rank just below the base card until each pile contains 13 cards.
Ranking of cards is continuous: build Aces after Kings when necessary.

Tableau (7 columns of 7 cards each)

Build down in suit (for example, a 10 can be played only on a Jack).
Only the top card of each pile is available for play on the foundations or moved to any cell.
A packed sequence may be moved as a unit to another tableau pile.
Spaces can be filled only by cards one rank below the base card of the foundations (by King if foundations start with Aces).

Cells (or Reserves; 7 cells; also called in this game the "Flipper")

These cells are storage locations for cards being played to the foundations and the tableau.
Cells can only hold one card at a time.
