- <para>
- 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.

- 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).
