Waste: The top card can be moved to a foundation pile or to a tableau pile. Top three cards in the waste are visible.

Foundations: Build up in suit, from the base card to the card one rank lower than the base card. Ranking of cards is continuous, so you may build Ace after King if necessary. The top card of a foundation pile can be moved back to the tableau.

Tableau: Build down in alternating colors. The top card of each pile may be moved to the foundations or to the tableau. Entire sequence of cards may be moved to another tableau pile. A part of sequence cannot be moved. Ranking of cards is continuous, so you may build King after Ace if necessary. When a tableau pile is empty, the top card from the reserve is automatically placed on the pile. When the reserve is emptied, the An empty pile can be filled with any card from the waste. It is not possible to fill an empty pile with a card or a sequence from another tableau pile.

Reserve: The top card can be moved to a foundation pile or to a tableau pile.
