Object To move all the cards to the foundations. Layout and play The base card varies with each game, and is the first card played on the foundations. Foundations (4 piles) At game start, choose the base card by playing one of the top cards of the tableau columns on the first foundation. Build in ascending sequence and in suit (for example, a Q on a J) from the rank of the base card to the rank immediately below the rank of the base card until each pile has been completed with 13 cards. Ranks are continuous: an Ace can be played on a King. Tableau (2 columns of 6 cards each and 8 columns of 5 cards each) Build in ascending sequence or in descending sequence and in suit (for example, a 6 or a 4 on a 5). Ranks are continuous: an Ace can be played on a King and a King can be played on an Ace. The top card of each column can be played on the foundations or on another tableau column. Only one card at a time can be played. Spaces can be filled with cards from other tableau columns.
