- <para>
- Cards in the Tableau are built down regardless of suit. Groups of cards
- can be moved. An empty slot in the Tableau is filled automatically from
- the Reserve. If the Reserve is empty, an empty slot can be filled by the
- top card of the Waste at your leisure.
- </para>
- <para>
- Cards can be flipped singly from the Stock to the Waste. Top
- card is available for play. There is no redeal.
- </para>
- <para>
- Foundations are built up in suit from the base card (first card dealt to
- first Foundation). New Foundations are started when a card of the same
- rank as this base card is placed on an empty Foundation pile. Aces are
- built on Kings, and twos on Aces. Cards in Foundations are no longer in
- play. Double clicking on a card will move it to the appropriate
- Foundation pile if such a move is possible.

-
- <para>
- You can't go digging through junkyards. Once a card is buried in the
- waste, it is hard to get back. Try and move as many cards from the
- Waste to the Tableau as possible.
