Move all 52 cards onto the four foundations, one per suit, building up from Ace to King. Clear every card and you win.
Seven columns hold the dealt cards. Build them down in alternating colors: a red Six on a black Seven, a black Five on that red Six. Groups of cards in sequence move together, and only a King can fill an empty column.
Cards left over after the deal form the stock. Click it to turn cards onto the waste pile: choose Draw 1 for a relaxed game or Draw 3 for the classic challenge. When the stock runs out, click again to redeal the waste.
Whenever you move the last face-up card off a column, the card beneath is flipped. Uncovering the hidden cards is the heart of the game. A hint is one tap away when you're stuck.
