When you start the game, you will see the basic layout of Calculation solitaire in the Game window: The "deck" in the upper left corner, the four "foundations" to the right of the deck, and four "piles" below the foundations.
As the game begins, Calculation deals four cards face up to the foundations: An ace, a two, a three and a four.
THE GAME
The object of the game is to build all the cards face up on the foundations. Each foundation builds upward in sequence, starting from the card value which Calculation dealt.
On the first foundation, you place cards of any suit counting up by ones to king (i.e. A, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... K); on the second you count up by twos to king (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, Q, A, 3, ... K); on the third you count up by threes and the fourth you count up by fours, all to king.
Cards are played one at a time from the deck. If you are unable to place a card on any of the four foundations, you can place it on any of the four piles below. Any card can be placed on top of any other card in the four lower piles. Cards cannot be moved between lower piles once the card is placed; they can only be moved to one of the foundations.
