Card Games Solitaire

The game is played with a standard pack of 52 cards. The cards come in 4 suits with two colors, spades (black), hearts (red), diamonds (red) and clubs (black). Within a suit, the ranks are, from low to high, ace, 2, 3,…,10,jack, queen and king.

The player starts the game by dealing the pack of cards over several piles on the table. After the player has dealt, there are 7 piles on the tableau containing 28 cards.

Distribution :
The first pile has 1 card,
The second 2, the third 3, and so on up to the seventh pile.
Initially, the top card of each pile is turned face up; all other cards are face down.
The remaining cards that are not part of the tableau are placed in the deck-pile.
Above the tableau there are five more piles that are initially empty,
one discard-pile and four suit-piles, one for each suit of cards.
The suit-piles are built up from aces to kings in one suit. They are constructed as the cards become available.

Objective :
The object of the game is to build all 52 cards into the suit piles through a number of moves.

Rules :
A card can be placed on a tableau-pile only on top of a faced-up card of next-higher rank and opposite color.
A build can be placed only when its bottom card matches a faced-up top card in this way.
Empty piles that arise during play can only accommodate kings.
A card can be placed on a suit-pile only if it is of the same suit and next higher card or if the foundation is empty and the card is an ace.

Variations
In another version of the game, three cards are drawn simultaneously from the deck-pile and placed face up on the discard-pile. In this case, only one out of three cards from the deck-pile can be accessed unless the card that ends up on top of the discard pile can be moved. Another variation allows to move the cards from the suit-piles back to the tableau-piles.
