Top  Previous  Next

1 Deck.  Medium (25%).  Mostly Skill.

 

Object

To move all the cards to the foundations

 

Layout

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

 

8 cells (bottom) - storage locations for cards.  Only 1 card allowed in each cell.  The card is available for play on the foundations or tableau. At the start of the game 1 card is dealt to each cell.

 

8 tableau piles (above cells) -   build down in suit.  The top card is available for play on the foundations, cells, or another tableau pile.  Move groups of cards if they are in sequence down in suit and if there are enough free cells that the cards could be moved individually.  Fill spaces with Kings or a group of cards headed by a King.  At the start of the game the Aces are dealt to the first 4 piles, then 5 cards are dealt face up to each pile.

 

Options

AutoPlay

 

Notes

Groups of cards in the tableau can only be moved as a group if there are a sufficient number of empty cells available to store the cards individually.  The ability to move cards as a group is only a shortcut to moving the group one card at a time.

 

Tips

Try to keep as many cells empty as possible.
