When all possible or desired moves come to a standstill, the player deals another row of ten cards face up. Alternatively, the spaces may be filled with any movable unit. Example: If the bottom card of a unit is the J, it may be moved onto any one of the four queens.Ī king can be moved only onto a space.
When all face-up cards on a pile are removed, the next card below is turned face up and becomes available.Ī movable unit of cards may be placed either in a space or on a card of the next-higher rank to the bottom card of the unit, regardless of color or suit. Example: If a pile from top down shows 4, 5, 6, 7, either the first one, two, or three cards may be moved as a unit, but the 7 may not be moved until the covering three cards are removed. The top card of a pile may be moved, together with all face-up cards below it that follow in ascending suit and sequence.Ī sequence of available cards may be broken at any point by leaving some cards behind. The first four cards of each pile are dealt face down, the top cards face up. Ten piles of five cards each are dealt by rows. The game is won if all eight suits are played out. Whenever a full suit of 13 cards is so assembled, it is lifted off and discarded from the game.
The goal is to assemble 13 cards of a suit, in ascending sequence from ace through king, on top of a pile.
