After shuffling, here's how you play:
- Deal 28 cards in seven piles across your table. The first pile would have one card; the second one would have two; the third pile would have three, and so on. The top card on each pile stays facing up, while the others are face-down cards. The rest of the cards will rest on a stock pile in your upper left hand.
- The four aces in the deck will serve as the foundations that you place in a row above your initial 28 cards as soon as they become available.
- You can place any movable card on another one that is higher in rank and with the opposite color. For example, you can play a red four on a black five. If more than one card is face up on a pile, you can move them together.
- If there is an empty space on the tableau, only a king can fill it.
- The player may use the cards on the stock pile to help them build sequences.
- You win after all the card are placed in the foundation.
