The goal is to move all 52 cards to the four foundation piles in ascending order (Ace to King) by suit.
Rules & Movement Validation
Tableau:
Build columns downwards by alternating colors (e.g., Red 7 on a Black 8). Only the face-up cards at the
bottom of a column may be moved, and a whole face-up run can be moved together as long as it is a valid
alternating sequence.
Empty Columns:
Only a King (or a run starting with a King) may be placed into an empty column.
Face-down Cards:
When a column's last face-up card is moved away, the newly exposed card automatically flips face-up.
Foundations:
Build up starting from Ace to King by matching suit. Only a single top card (from the tableau or the
waste pile) can be sent to a foundation at a time.
Stock & Waste:
Click the Stock pile to flip one card onto the Waste pile. Once the Stock is empty, click it again to
recycle the Waste back into the Stock.
Controls
Click / Tap:
Click or tap any playable card and it moves itself to the best legal spot: a foundation first, then a
matching tableau column, or an empty column as a last resort.
Desktop Drag:
You can still drag and drop a card to choose a specific column yourself instead of the automatic choice.
Auto-Complete:
Once the rest of the game is guaranteed to finish, a "Clear the Deck" popup appears — tap it to watch the
remaining cards fly home to their foundations.
The rest can be auto-completed!
