Twelve tableau spaces each start with one visible card. Build four foundations from ace to king, using the other forty cards from a draw-one stock.
Simple rules leave you real choices
- Build down in alternating colors, moving only individual exposed cards.
- Any card can occupy an empty tableau space. There are no separate reserve cells.
- Only the exposed waste card is playable. The stock allows one pass and cannot be recycled.
Do not bury the receiver you still need
A legal waste move can cover the card needed to release another column. Before accepting it, inspect the next move it enables. Use empty spaces to uncover low foundation cards, but preserve a route for their temporary blockers. Once the stock is gone, progress depends entirely on the cards you can reach.
