How to play
- Deal 28 cards into 7 columns of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The top of each column is face-up.
- Build four foundations from Ace to King in the same suit.
- Build the tableau down in alternating colours (e.g. red 9 on black 10).
- Move groups of properly-stacked cards together.
- Draw from the stock (one or three cards at a time, your choice).
Strategy & tips
- Play aces and twos to the foundation immediately, but think twice before sending higher cards - you may need them in the tableau.
- Empty columns are gold. Plan moves that free a column so you can park a king there.
- Turn 1 favours patient deduction; Turn 3 is faster but more limiting. Pick the variant that suits your mood.
