Solitaire is a single player card game in which the player will use strategy and skill and need some luck. In order to play this game, the player will need the standard deck of fifty-two cards, out of which the Jokers will not be used. The player will need to be sure the playing surface is large enough for the lay-out of the game.
To set up the game of solitaire, the player will need to thoroughly shuffle the deck of cards. Then, he or she will need to deal twenty-eight cards into seven tableau piles from left to right: pile one consisting of one card, pile two consisting of two cards, pile three consisting of three cards, and so on until the pile on the right has seven cards. All of the cards in each pile should be face down, except for the top card which should be face up. When the face up card is moved, the next top card will be flipped to face up. The cards that were not dealt into the pile become the draw pile and is placed in the upper-left hand corner of the playing surface. The top of the playing surface will consist of four foundation piles that are created when an Ace card becomes available. The foundation pile is built upon when cards from the same suit are stacked in ascending order from Ace to King.
If there is an Ace card showing in the tableau piles, the player will use it to start a foundation pile. The cards in the draw pile are also available for use. Cards can be moved from one tableau pile to another by being arranged in descending order in alternating colors (such as, a red seven on a black eight). The player wins the game when he or she has placed all of the cards in their corresponding foundation pile.
