A card or group of cards in the proper sequence in the tableau piles may be played onto other tableau piles. Cards from the reserve may also be used to build on the tableau. When a tableau pile becomes empty, it may be filled by any available card.

Cards may not be moved into the reserve grid. Play continues until there are no more moves.
