The four areas

The eight cascades hold the tableau, four free cells temporarily hold one card each, and four foundations are built upward by suit from Ace to King.

Legal moves

A single card or valid descending alternating-color run can move onto a card one rank higher in the opposite color. An empty cascade accepts a card or a run subject to available-space capacity. A free cell accepts one card.

How to win

Expose buried cards, create empty cascades, move low cards to foundations when safe, and avoid filling all four free cells at once.

Frequently asked questions

Can a free cell hold a stack?

No. Each free cell holds one card.

Why can I not move a large stack?

The maximum movable run depends on the number of empty free cells and empty cascades available.
