Shuffle a standard deck of 52 cards
Deal 7 tableau piles:
First pile: 1 card face up
Second pile: 1 card face up, 1 card face down
Third pile: 1 card face up, 2 cards face down
Continue until the 7th pile has 1 face up and 6 face down
Place the remaining cards in a draw pile (face down)
Create 4 foundation piles (one for each suit) starting empty
Set up tableau rules:
Build down in alternating colors within tableau (e.g., red 7 on black 6)
Move sequences as a unit when they follow the alternating-color descending rule
Set up foundation rules:
Build up by suit from Ace to King
Play moves:
Move any eligible card or valid descending sequence from tableau to tableau
Move eligible cards from tableau or draw to foundation (when they are the next required rank by suit)
Turn over the top face-down card in a tableau pile whenever its top card is removed
Use the draw pile:
Draw cards one at a time (or according to your version’s rules) to the waste pile
Move the top waste card to tableau or foundation when legal
Win condition:
Move all cards to the 4 foundation piles in suit order from Ace to King
If no moves are available:
Draw again from the draw pile if allowed by your version
Continue until you complete the foundations or run out of permitted draws
