The Deal

Using one deck, the Discard Pile is dealt one card. Columns and Foundations start the game empty.

Foundations

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

Columns

Any card from the Discard Pile may be placed in any Column. Cards may not be moved among Columns.

Unlike the similar game called Strategy, cards from the Columns my be played to Foundations before all cards are removed from the Stock.

The topmost card in any Column is available for play to a Foundation.

Stock

Cards from the Stock are flipped automatically one at a time when the card in the Discard Pile is played. There is no redeal.

Discard Pile

The Discard Pile will only ever contain just one card. This card must be played to one of the Columns or to a Foundation before the next card from the Stock is flipped. When the card is played, the Stock will automatically flip another card to the Discard Pile.
