<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal"><FONT FACE="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=3 STYLE="font-size: 13pt">The
cards are dealt into six 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
twelve cards can be dealt one on top of each stack ( The last deal is
an exception cards are only added to the first six stacks. ). 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 twelve suits in descending order
from King to Ace. Once a suit is complete it can be sent home or
moved to one of the twelve empty slots at the top of the board. Once
all twelve suits are sent home the game is over.</FONT></FONT></P>
