  • In-suit sequences from Kings down to Aces may be discarded into the waste pile. Note that in-suit sequences are required to win, even though sequences may be built regardless of suit.

Click the stock to deal 1 card to the end of each tableau column. Empty tableau spaces must be filled before cards can be dealt from the stock.

Waste Pile
