To WIN - Create 4 piles of cards from Ace up to King of the same suit. A,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K

### Rules

This is a 1 deck Solitaire game. The tableau is a row of 7 cards. 28 cards are dealt 1 in first pile on left, then 2 in second pile from left etc. Top most card in each pile is face up. The rest of the pack of cards is called the stock.

On the tableau pile you may build down using opposite color. For example a 7 of Clubs can be placed on any red 8. If you free a space on the tableau, only a King may be put into the empty space.

To play, Tap and drag cards to the desired location. Top card on a pile is always available to be moved. Also all cards in proper sequence may be moved as a unit or you can move them as individual cards.

Each time you free an Ace move it to the discard piles above. Once a card is placed here it can't be withdrawn. Build these piles up from Ave to King of same suit.

When you can't play anymore on the tableau, you may draw from the stock. Depending on the options you turn over one or three cards at a time. You can move a card onto the table if it meets the rules. You can go through the deck one or three times. If you can't clear table you lose. Tradition rules state: If you turn over one card at a time, then one time through the deck should be all that is allowed. If you turnover three cards at a time, you should get three times through the deck. Another Variation is for three cards, you can turn over the deck until you go through it without playing any cards.
