Build down in the same suit.
Move one exposed card onto the exposed card one rank higher in its suit: a 7 of clubs can go onto an 8 of clubs. Matching colour alone is not enough. You cannot move a buried card or a whole sequence, and the ranks do not wrap.
Keep an empty column useful.
Any exposed tableau or waste card can fill an empty column. A spare column lets you move cards aside one at a time to uncover another destination. Every transfer remains a single-card move, even when you are rearranging a suited sequence.
Build eight foundations from Aces.
There are two foundation slots for each suit. Start either matching slot with an Ace, then add 2 through King in order. Cards from the two decks may share a foundation. Forward play cannot bring a foundation card back to the tableau; Undo can reverse its placement.
Draw one card, with no recycling.
Each stock press adds one card to the waste. Only the exposed waste card can move; moving it uncovers the one beneath. There is one pass through the 64-card stock and no recycle. An empty stock does not end the game while useful tableau or waste moves remain.
Select a card, then its destination.
Tap or click an exposed card and then a tableau destination or matching foundation. Tab reaches cards and controls; Enter or Space activates them. Escape cancels selection. Column numbers and the selection message help identify your source and destination.
Reconsider a move with Undo.
Undo reverses one action, including a stock draw or foundation placement, with up to 100 recent actions retained. Hints suggest legal actions without revealing hidden stock cards or promising a winning continuation. Retry restores the current opening.
