The Deal

Using one deck, all cards are dealt face up evenly to the 13 Columns. After the cards have been dealt, the Kings are moved to the bottom of their respective Columns.

Foundations

Foundations are built UP and IN SUIT starting with an Ace and ending with a King. For example, a 2 of Clubs can be placed on an Ace of Clubs, then a 3 of Clubs, then a 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, up to the K of Clubs. The same holds true for the other suits.

Columns

Columns are built DOWN in ANY SUIT. For example, any 6 may be placed on any 7.

The topmost card in any Column is available for play to either another Column or a Foundation. Only one card may be moved at a time.

Empty Columns must remain empty.
