How to play

Description

Solitaire is played with a standard deck of 52 cards. There are 7 ordinary piles, 1 deck, 1 discard pile, and 4 final piles. Initially there will be 1 card in the first pile, 2 cards in the second pile, 3 cards in the third pile, etc. and only the top card of each pile will be face-up.

Moving the cards

You can move cards to another pile by following these rules:

1. The card you are trying to move needs to be exactly 1 rank lower and of different color than the card you are moving it onto.
2. If the destination pile is empty, only a King can be put there (There are no limitations regarding the color and the suit of the King in this case).
3. You can also move subpiles¹ if the card at the bottom of the subpile can be moved according to the rules described above.

Keep in mind that only face-up cards can be moved!

The goal of the game

The goal is to move all cards to the four final piles. Note that each final pile corresponds to a specific suit and that cards need to be arranged in ascending order².
