Game Rules

Layout:

The deck is dealt into 4 piles of 7 cards each and 4 piles of 6 cards each. There are 4 empty Free Cells available at the start of the game.

Tableau:

Build down in alternating colors. The top card of any tableau pile is available to be built on another tableau pile, on the foundation, or on a free cell. Empty spaces in the tableau can be filled with any available card. Free Cells may hold only one card at a time.

Foundations:

Build up in suit from aces to kings.

Scoring:

The score starts at 0. One point is awarded for each card moved to the foundation. The best possible score is 52.
