Face up cards in the tableau or stockpile can be moved on top of another face up card in the tableau of an opposite color that is one rank higher, forming a sequence of cards.Ģ. Once all cards are turned over, the remaining cards that have not been moved to either the tableau or foundation can then be redrawn from the stockpile in the same order.ġ. If not used, the cards are put into a waste pile. Stockpile: This is where you can draw the remaining cards, which can then be played in the game. The last card of every pile is turned over face up. Tableau: This is the area where you have seven columns, with the first column containing one card and each sequential column containing one more additional card. Goal:To win, you need to arrange all the cards into the four empty Foundations piles by suit color and in numerical order, starting from Ace all the way to King. In our game, this is automatically done for you!Īll leftover cards after the foundations are created become the “Stock,” where you can turn over the first card.

Only the last card in each of the Tableau columns is flipped over face up so you can see it’s suit, color and value. Ultimately, you will have seven piles, with the first pile containing one card, the second pile containing two cards, the third pile containing three cards etc. The eighth card distributed will go into the second column, since the first column already has its one and only card.Īfter the piles are complete, they should be cascaded downwards such that they form a “reverse staircase” form towards the right. As an example, this means the first seven cards will create the seven columns of the Tableau.

The tableau increases in size from left to right, with the left-most pile containing one card and the right-most pile containing seven. Game setup: After a 52-card deck is shuffled you’ll begin to set up the tableau by distributing the cards into seven columns face down, with each new card being placed into the next column.
