DEAL

Cards are placed face-down in 7 piles with each pile having 1 more card than the previous. For example, pile 1 has 1 card and pile 7 has 7 cards. The top card in each row is placed face-up. The remaining cards are placed in a deck face-down.

PLAY

The object of the game is to place all cards in the their suit stack in order from the Ace to the King. For example, the Ace of Clubs would start the stack and the 2 of Clubs could be placed on top of it. Cards can be moved between piles but it must form a sequence with alternating suit colours. All cards piled on top must be moved as well. For example, the Jack of Clubs and 10 of Hearts could be moved on top of the Queen of Diamonds. When all face-up cards are removed from a pile the top card may be flipped over. A King of any suit may be moved into an empty space. Cards from the deck may be flipped into a discard pile and the top card can be moved into a pile or suit stack with the previous requirements. When the cards in the deck are gone the discard pile should be turned over to become the deck once again.
