Layout

•	Forty-five cards dealt in nine tableau piles.

•	The number of cards per pile increases from one to nine from left to right.

•	The top card of each pile is face up (exposed), the rest are face down (hidden).

Play

•	Build exposed cards down in value and alternating suit color.

•	The top card of a pile is always available for play on a foundation.

•	Exposed cards built down in value and alternating suit color can be moved as a unit if the bottommost card of the pile may be built on top of another pile.

•	Whenever the exposed cards of a pile are cleared away, the next card is exposed and becomes available for play.

•	A space made by clearing away an entire pile may be filled by only a King (plus the cards, if any, built on the King).

Stock

•	Turn up cards from the stock one or three at a time (see Variations below) in a discard pile.

•	The top card of the discard pile is available for play on foundations or tableau piles.

•	Unused cards in the discard pile are recycled after the stock is depleted.

Foundations

•	Move the eight Aces to the row above the tableau as they are made available.

•	Build the foundations in ascending suit sequence from Ace to King.

To Win

•	Move all the cards to the foundations.
