Solitaire

A classic card game for a single person to play.

Taking a shuffled standard 52-card deck of playing cards, one upturned card is dealt on the left of the playing area, then six downturned cards (from left to right). On top of the downturned cards, an upturned card is dealt on the left-most downturned pile, and downturned cards on the rest until all piles have an upturned card. The piles should look like the figure to the right.

The four foundations are built up by suit from Ace to King, and the tableau piles can be built down by alternate colors, and partial or complete piles can be moved if they are built down by alternate colors also. Any empty piles can be filled with a King or a pile of cards with a King.

The object of the game is to get all the cards into the Suite Stacks at the top. Once the Ace is in its Suite Stack, you can place additional cards of the same suite in that Suite Stack. The card must always be one greater than the current top card of the Suite Stack (2 goes on Ace, 5 goes on 3, king goes on queen...)
