| · | 10 tableau piles (below foundations) - build down in suit by ones, twos, threes or fours, wrapping as necessary. Any card of the same suit that is 4 ranks or less lower can be played. For example, on a 10 ª a 9,8,7, or 6 ª may be played. Groups of cards in sequence down in suit may be moved as a unit if they are built down by the same sequence as that suit is built up in the foundations. For example, if ©'s are in the 3rd foundation pile and build by threes, then a group of ©'s built down by threes can be moved as a unit, such as the Jack, 8, 5, 2, and Queen. Spaces are filled by any card or legal groups of cards. At the start of the game 8 cards are dealt to the first pile, 7 cards to the 2nd pile, and so on until 1 card is dealt to the 8th and 9th piles. The 10th pile is left empty. The top card of each pile is face up.
