Object of the game

To move all the cards to the foundations.

Foundations (4 piles; top right: complete these piles to win the game)

• Build up in suit from Ace to King (for example, a 2 can be played on an Ace ).

Cells (or Reserves; 4 cells, top left)

• These are the "cells". These cells are storage locations for cards being played to the foundations and the tableau.
• Cards in these cells can be moved to the foundations and the tableau.
• Cells can only hold one card at a time.

Tableau (8 columns, below foundations and cells)

• Build down in alternating colors (for example, a 10 can be played on a Jack ).
• The top card of each pile is available for play on another tableau pile, the foundations or the cells.
• Move groups of cards if they are in sequence and if there are enough free cells that the cards could be moved individually.
• Spaces may be filled with any card.
