Six columns hold 36 visible cards. Three additional towers hold the other sixteen: two open piles at the left and an eight-card central pile with only its top visible.
Five cells give you room to work
- Build tableau columns down by suit and move one exposed card at a time. Any card can fill an empty column.
- Each reserve cell holds one card. Towers supply cards but cannot receive cards back.
- Uncover the central tower one card at a time. Win by building all four suited foundations from ace through king.
The hidden tower deserves a route
Before parking its top card in a cell, find a way to release it later. Filling all five cells with tower blockers can leave you unable to uncover the next card. A cleared tableau column gives more flexible storage.
