3.42.1. Setup
| Type of Deck | Standard Deck |
| Stock | Top left pile. All cards except the Ace to four of clubs are placed here at beginning of play. Cards are dealt singly to Waste. |
| Waste | Directly to the right of Stock. Can only hold one card at a time. Card must immediately be placed on either a Foundation pile or on to the Reserve pile of your choice. |
| Foundation | Four piles on top, to the right of Stock. Place an Ace on the first pile, a two on the second pile, a three on the third pile, and a four on the fourth pile. The first Foundation pile is built up by one, the second is built up by two, the third by three, and the fourth by four, all of which wrap around to Ace when it reaches past thirteen. cards in Foundations are no longer in play. Suits do not matter. |
| Reserve | Four piles placed underneath Foundations. Cards in Reserve can only be played on to Foundation piles. Cards moved from Waste can be placed on any of the Reserve piles. |
3.42.2. Goal
Move all cards on to Foundations.
3.42.3. Rules
Build on to Foundations by ones, twos, threes, and fours for piles one, two, three, and four respectively. Cards are dealt singly in to the Waste from the Stock. However, as the Waste pile can only hold one card, this card must immediately be played on to a Foundation pile or on to any of the four Reserve piles. Cards in the Reserve piles cannot be rearranged.
3.42.4. Scoring
Each card moved to Foundations scores one point.
Maximum possible score: 48
3.42.5. Strategy
Hone your skills for this game. Luck will not get you very far here. Try not to cover cards you might need sooner. Consider saving a column just for kings (as they are the last card to be played on each Foundation).
