Object To move all the cards to the foundations. Layout and play At game start, the four Aces are dealt to the four piles at the top and become the base cards for the foundations. Foundations (4 piles) Build in ascending sequence and in suit (for example, a 2 on an A ) from Ace to King. Tableau (6 columns of increasing height and 3 columns of 7 cards each) Build in descending sequence and in alternating colors (for example, a 4 on a 5 ). Ranks are not continuous: a King can't 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 or from the reserve. Reserve (6 piles of 1 card each) The single card of each pile can be played on the foundations or on the tableau. Spaces can't be filled.
