- <para>
- Cards in the Tableau are built down by suit. Groups of cards can be
- moved regardless of sequence. Groups of cards in sequence can be moved
- into an appropriate and receptive Foundation pile. An empty pile in the
- Tableau can be filled with a King or a group of cards with a King on the
- bottom.
- </para>
- <para>
- Foundations are built up in suit from Ace to King. Cards in Foundations
- are no longer in play.

-
- <para>
- When game is dealt, any sequence of cards going down in suit is
- awarded one point per card. Every move within the Tableau will award
- a point for every card in the newly created sequence. A point is also
- rewarded for every card placed on to the Foundation.

- <sect2><title>Strategy</title>
-
- <para>
- The more you can hold on to, the more you will have. Try to keep cards
- out of Foundations as long as possible. The larger the sequences, the
- more points are made.
