Goal: build all four foundations up from Ace to King, each in a single suit.

  • The board is eighteen fans. Build them down in the same suit (e.g. a ♥6 on a ♥7), one card at a time — only the exposed end card of a fan can move.
  • An emptied fan stays empty: once a fan is cleared, nothing can be placed back into it.
  • Stuck? Tap the stock to gather every fan, shuffle, and re-deal into threes. (Tradition allows two such redeals.)
  • Merci: to free a card buried in a fan, turn on FISH (press F) and drag that card out — it will play wherever it legally lands. By tradition, once per game.
