If you have never played solitaire before, it is recommended
that you consult a solitaire instruction book. In

in alternate colors. An entire pile must be moved as a unit
in building. Top cards of the piles are available
to be played on foundations, but never into empty spaces.

Spaces must be filled from the stock. The top card of
the stock also is available to be played on foundations or
built on tableau piles. After the stock is exhausted,
tableau spaces may be filled from the talon and the player may
keep them open until he wishes to use them.

and this repeats until there are no more cards in the hand
or the player quits. To have cards dealt onto the talon the
