<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal"><FONT FACE="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=3 STYLE="font-size: 13pt">The
game is played the same regardless of the variation. The cards are
dealt into four rows of six cards, and six rows of five cards. All
the cards are face down except the last card in each stack. A card
can be moved from one stack to another if it is the next card in
descending order with King being high and Ace being low regardless of
suit. But a stack of cards can only be moved if they are in
descending order and the same suit. Once moves are exhausted ten
cards can be dealt one on top of each stack. Cards cannot be dealt if
there is an empty stack.</FONT></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal"><FONT FACE="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=3 STYLE="font-size: 13pt">The
object of the game is to get all eight sets of suits ( There are
eight sets regardless of the variation. ) in descending order from
King to Ace. Once a suit is complete it can be sent home or moved to
one of the eight empty slots at the top of the board. Once all eight
suits are sent home the game is over.</FONT></FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal"><FONT FACE="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=3 STYLE="font-size: 13pt">A
point is scored when cards in descending order of the same suit are
stacked on one another. So, the total number of points available is
96 or 12 for each suit. The score along with the number of deals
remaining are indicated in the status bar at the bottom of the game
window.</FONT></FONT></P>

that are movable will be indicated when the mouse is over them with
the open hand icon. Cards with the open hand icon displayed over them
can be dragged and dropped to another stack or clicked to move them
to another stack ( For the click case the cards are moved to a
matching suit, non-matching suit, or an empty stack in that order. In
some cases it might be necessary to drag and drop the cards to move
them to the exact stack desired. ). When all moves are exhausted, the
next set of cards can be dealt on top of the current cards by
clicking on the deck in the upper left corner of the board. </FONT></FONT>
