Rules |
Build up the four foundations from ace to king of the same suit to win the game. Aces can go in an empty foundation. Build down on the tableau in alternating colors. For example, a nine of hearts (9 ♥) can be placed on a ten of spades (10 ♠). The top card in each pile may be moved to the foundations, a free cell, or to another tableau pile. A sequence of cards with alternating colors may be moved together to another tableau pile. Empty tableau spaces can be filled with any card or valid group of cards. The cells are storage areas for cards that can be played to the foundations or the tableau. Each cell can hold one card at a time. The maximum amount of cards that can be moved together in a group is equal to the number of empty cells plus one so it is a good idea to try and keep most of the cells open. |
How to Play |
To drag cards from the cells, the tableau, or the foundations click and hold while moving the mouse. |
