-
- <para>
- Cards in Tableau can be built down regardless of suit. Builds of
- cards in sequence and in the same suit can by moved as a unit.
- Empty Tableau piles can be filled with any card or build of cards.
- </para>
- <para>
- Each Tableau pile must be filled before any deal. Clicking on the
- Stock will deal a card on to every Tableau pile except for the last
- deal which places one card on each of the first three piles.
- </para>
- <para>
- A build of all thirteen cards in a suit may be moved on to a
- Foundation pile. Cards in the Foundation are no longer in play.
