The game is played with four foundation piles, four discard piles and the deck. Initially the foundation piles have the ace of hearts, king of clubs, ace of diamonds and king of spades placed on them, onto which you must build the cards in sequence (increasing on the aces, decreasing on the kings) and alternating in colour. Cards from the deck or any of the discard piles can be played onto any foundation pile as long as they obey the above building rule. Cards are turned from the deck one at a time. If it cannot be built legally on a foundation pile, it can be placed on any of the discard piles.
