Rules


OBJECTIVE

To move all the cards to the foundations.

FOUNDATIONS

Build up in suit, from Ace to King. Cards are moved individually.

TABLEAU PILES

Build down alternating colors. Cards are moved individually or in a group of cards forming a descending sequence alternating the colors. When a face down tableau card is exposed, it will be turned face up automatically. If a tableau pile becomes empty during play, only Kings (or a group of cards headed by a King) may be moved into the empty stack.

STOCK PILE

Tap the stock pile to turn up 3 cards at one time from the stock pile to the waste pile. Unlimited redeals are allowed until the game is blocked or won.

WASTE PILE

The top card is available for play onto the tableau piles or the foundations.

Tips and Tricks


Turn up the first cards from the stock pile before making any moves. This increases the game options so you can choose the best move.

Try to uncover hidden cards. If you have several options, always choose the column with more hidden cards.

Try to make only the important moves, that is, those that allow you to make other moves or uncover hidden cards.

Do not empty a column if you do not have a King or a sequence headed by a King to fill the empty space. That way you'll keep more game options.

When you have a black King and a red King to fill an empty column, study the best option. Choose the one that will allow you to play other cards that are blocking moves.
