How to play

All cards are visible from the start. Use four spare cells to free the cards you need and build each suit from Ace to King.

  1. All 52 cards are face up in eight columns. Move them to the four foundations above the table, building each suit from Ace through King. The four free cells on the left are temporary spaces.
  2. In a column, place a lower card on a card one value higher and of the opposite colour. For example, a red 5 goes on a black 6. Any available card can fill an empty column.
  3. Each free cell holds one card. Only the last card in a column or a card in a free cell can move by itself. Foundation cards can be moved back to the columns when needed.
  4. You may move an ordered, alternating-colour run if enough spare spaces are available. The limit is (empty free cells + 1) × 2 for each empty spare column. The destination column does not count as a spare column. With no empty columns and two empty cells, you can move up to three cards.
  5. Click a card, then its destination. Keep some free cells empty so you can move longer runs. Each foundation card earns 1 point; all 52 in the foundations wins the game. There is no stock to draw from.
