- <para>
- The first item of play is to select an available card for the first
- Foundation. Once selected, all other Foundations must also start
- with this value.
- </para>
- <para>
- Foundations are built up by suit, wrapping from King to Ace where
- necessary. Once a card is placed on a Foundation pile, it is out of
- play.
- </para>
- <para>
- Cards in the Tableau are built down by alternating color. Whole
- piles of cards can be moved on to another Tableau pile. Empty slots
- in the Tableau can be filled by any available card in the Reserves
- or, if all the Reserves are empty, from the Waste.
- </para>
- <para>
- Cards are flipped singly from Stock to Waste. There is one redeal.

- <para>
- Be careful when selecting your first Foundation pile. Try to get
- the cards out of the Reserves as early as possible. Sometimes
- keeping cards in play is more important than moving them to the
- Foundation.
