Rules

Cards in Tableau can be built either up or down in suit. However, each pile must follow only one of these rules. For example, if a Tableau pile has a three of clubs over a two of clubs, one can only play a four of clubs on this pile. Any available card can be played on to an empty Tableau pile.

Foundation piles are to be built in suit from Ace to King, followed by another King, then back down to Ace, giving 26 cards per pile when game is won. Cards in Foundation piles are no longer in play.

Cards can be flipped singly from the Stock to the Waste. Top card of Waste is available for play. There is no redeal.

Options

None

Scoring

Each card moved to Foundations scores one point.

Maximum possible score: 104

Strategy

A string of beads can be added to from both ends, and so should your piles. Make good use of any empty slots to append cards. With a little perseverance, this game can be a lot of fun!
