When the ascending sequence finishes with a card from the stock, it can additionally be placed according to the descending sequence of the tableau.: Imagine a three-by-three square grid, similar to the one used in Tic-Tac-Toe. This is how you will arrange the cards. The four corners of the grid are designated for building the foundations in ascending order.
At the start, only the upper-left corner will contain a card. Foundations can be built round-the-corner (king to ace to deuce) as necessary. The five central squares of the grid, forming a cross, serve as your tableau. Construct sequences in these piles in descending order, with no requirement to follow suit or alternate colors.
Playing: Shuffle the deck and deal one card faceup onto each of the five tableau squares.
Next, place a single card faceup in the upper-left corner. This card establishes the base number for the remaining three foundations. The remaining cards form your stock, from which you will draw cards one at a time into a discard pile until the stock is depleted. Each card drawn from the stock can be used in five ways:
- Begin a foundation corner.
- Add to a foundation if it's the next higher card in the suit.
- Build on any tableau pile.
- Place it on an empty tableau space.
- Discard it to the discard pile.
If your initial foundation card is a 5, all other foundations will also start with 5s. The ascending sequence will follow 5-6-7-8-9-10-J-Q-K-A-2-3-4. Cards in the tableau can be played at any time, but only the top card can be moved to a foundation or another tableau pile. You cannot move a card from the tableau to the discard pile. Only the top card of the discard pile is available for play, and it can be placed on foundations or tableau piles. Tableau spaces must be filled as long as cards are available. You can move one or more cards from a tableau pile, the available stock card, or the top discard. Use stock cards one at a time, and you may go through the stock only once. For example, if the next card drawn is a 5, place it in a corner; if it's a 10, place it on the J; or if it's a 2, place it on an empty tableau space or the discard pile.
