Layout. Deal fifty-four cards in ten piles, six cards in each of the first four piles, and five cards in each of the rest. The traditional method of dealing is by rows. The top card of each pile should be face up, the rest face down.

Building. The ten piles serve both as tableau and foundations. The top card of each pile is always available. Available cards may be built down, regardless of suit, ending at ace. (A king may not be built on an ace; it can be moved only to a space.)

Any or all of the cards on top of a pile, while they are in the same suit as well as in correct (downward) sequence, may be lifted as a unit to be built elsewhere.

On clearing away all cards above a face-down card, turn it up; it then becomes available. A space made by clearing away an entire pile may be filled with any available card or build.

Discard. The object of play is to assemble thirteen cards of a suit, in correct sequence. Whenever a suit is so assembled on top of a pile, you may lift it off and discard it. The game is won if you discard the whole deck in eight batches. It is not compulsory to discard a suit when able.

Play. Whenever play comes to a standstill, deal another row of ten cards, one upon each pile of the tableau. All spaces must be filled prior to such a deal.

Tips. Prefer "natuals"--builds in suit--where choice offers. Ahead even of this policy, however, is ther rule: Make first the builds that you can unmake. For example, if the layout shows two sixes and a five, move the five on a six first, ahead of even a natural build, since the five can be moved later if necessary.

Among builds that are not naturals, start with those of highest rank.

Try to make a space as early as possible. Sometimes this will mean that, having depleted one pile, your prospects are better to continue removing cards from that pile than making natural builds, where choice offers. Use spaces to reshuffle sequences into "naturals" so far as possible, before finally filling them.
