  1. Step 1: Shuffle the deck well.

    Then, create seven columns of five cards.

    The columns should be evenly spaced, and the cards in each column should overlap each other so that the bottom card in each column in the only card not overlapped.

    After the columns (tableau) are situated, place the remaining cards in a face-down pile below the tableau.

    This is called the stockpile.
  2. Step 2: Flip over the top card of the stockpile to begin and place the card face-up next to it.

    The foundation or waste pile has just been created.

    The object of the game is to move a card from the tableau to the foundation that is not overlapped by any card and is at least one more or one less than the foundation card's face value.
