Card game Solitaire - rules
The object of the game is to move all the cards into the empty spaces provided. Remember that you can only move cards in ascending order. The first card that can be moved is an Ace. This is followed by a deuce and so on. Remember that the type of cards must match!
Transfer of cards
How do I start the card transfer? If there is no suitable card, then you can proceed with stacks of cards or by flipping cards in the face-down pile.
Actions with stacks of cards
A card of the opposite suit may be placed on top of the face-up card, one number lower. Cards may be taken from the face-down pile, or the face-up cards are used on top of the main piles. If the face-up card is taken and only the face-down cards are left underneath, then the top one is turned face-up and play continues.
If a pile empties and is replaced by an empty space, the King card can be moved there.
Actions with a face-down pile of cards
One card is turned over at a time and a search is made to see what can be placed in the empty space or on open stacks cards. Unused cards are placed at the bottom of the discard pile. Cards can be drawn from the face-down pile in one of two ways: one card at a time or three cards at a time. Decide which you prefer.
