Object:

To move all of the cards to the foundation pile(s).

Rules:

Foundations (8 piles)

The first card played to the foundation sets the base card for all the piles. This card must come from the tableau.
Build up in suit (for example, a 6© may be played on a 5©) from the base card until each pile contains 13 cards.
Ranking is continuous.

Tableau (9 piles)

After the first foundation card is chosen, the rest of the tableau will be dealt.
Build down in alternating colors (for example, a 8§ may be played on a 9¨ or 9©).
Ranking is continuous.
Only the top card of each pile is available for play.
Spaces are automatically filled from the waste.

Reserve (1 pile of 13 cards)

The top card is available for play to the foundations only - not to the tableau.
