Solitaire Rules

Solitaire rules depend on the variant, but most games use tableau columns, foundation piles, a stock or reserve, and a clear building objective.

Key points

• Foundations are usually built upward by suit.
• Tableau movement creates access to hidden cards.
• Empty spaces are powerful and should be used carefully.

Why it matters
