Tableau Columns

  • The 7 tableau columns are built downward in suit.
  • Uncovered end cards are available for play.
  • Any downward, in-suit card sequence may be moved within the tableau.
  • Cards ranked one lower than the initial foundation card ranks may be played into empty spaces.

Reserve Spaces

The 7 reserve spaces can each hold 1 card. Any card may be played into an empty reserve space.

Scoring

Every card played into the foundations will score.
