Game Play

You may only move one card at a time. Only the top card of each tableau pile is available for play, either onto another tableau pile or onto a foundation pile. Tableau piles may be built down in sequence, regardless of suit. When a tableau pile becomes empty, it may not be filled.

There are four foundation piles, one for each suit. Once an ace is available for play, move it above the tableau to form a foundation pile. Foundation piles are built up in sequence and by suit.

To Win

If you move all the cards onto the foundation piles, you win.
