1 Deck.  Easy (75%).  Mostly Skill.

 

Object

To move all the cards to the foundations.

 

Layout

4 foundation piles (across top) - build up in suit from Ace to King.

 

7 tableau piles (below foundations) -  build down in any suit but the same.  Groups of cards may be moved if they are in sequence down in any suit but the same.  When only one card remains in a tableau pile, the card becomes a "protected" card. Protected cards may only be moved to a foundation and no cards may be played upon them.   Protected cards remain protected until the stock is empty, then they become available for play on other tableau piles, and other cards may be played upon them.  Spaces may be filled by any card. At the start of the game 1 card is dealt to the first pile, 2 cards to the 2nd, and so on.  The top card is face up.

 

stock (top left) - turn over 1 card at a time to the waste pile by clicking.  No redeals.

 

waste (next to stock) - top card is available for play on the foundations or tableau.
