A walkthrough of the rules
- Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
An example to follow
With base rank 5, a foundation runs 5 through king, then ace through 4. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
