Base game rules: Northwest Territory

Goal

How to play

Cards are dealt to eight tableau piles, each with one more card than the previous one (the first has one card, the second has two, up to the last one with eight). Only the top card of each pile is face-up. The remaining cards are dealt out to sixteen reserves.

The tableau is built down by alternate color. Any card or valid sequence of cards can be moved between tableau piles. Cards from the reserve can be moved to the tableau or foundation, but cards cannot be moved to the reserves.

The foundations are built up by same suit from ace to king. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
