- <para>
- Cards in the Tableau are built down by alternating color. 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 any card or group of cards in sequence.
- </para>
- <para>
- Cards are flipped from the Stock to the Waste by three. If the last
- flip has less than three cards, that many cards are flipped for that
- move only. When Stock is empty, move all cards in Waste back to the
- Stock, maintaining order.
- </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 the first card placed during the dealing period are placed on
- empty Foundation piles. Aces are placed on Kings, and twos on Aces.
- Cards in Foundations are still in play. Double clicking on a card will
- move it to the appropriate Foundation pile if such a move is possible.

-
- <para>
- A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. This game is hard to win.
- Most people play with the betting rules in mind and try to get as many
- points as possible. To this end, always move cards into the Foundations
- as soon as they are available.
