HOW TO DEAL Start with a fifty-two-card deck, and deal twenty-eight cards to the tableau in the pattern below, with each row slightly overlapping the row above it. The remaining cards are your stock.
WINNING Remove every card from the tableau, according to the rules below.
HOW TO PLAY At the start of the game, cards at the bottom of each pyramid are considered “uncovered.” As you discard them, cards higher up the pyramid become available to be played. Start by placing the topmost stock card onto a waste pile, face up. You now may discard any “uncovered” card in the tableau to the waste pile, as long as it is one rank higher or lower. If the waste card is 5, for example, you may remove any uncovered 6 or 4 from the tableau.
Turn over another stock card when you run out of moves. The game ends once the stock is exhausted.
