Goal

Move four cards to each of the seven tableau piles, with each pile totaling 10.

How to play

At the start of the game, seven cards are dealt to seven tableau piles. Cards are dealt from the talon three at a time. For each three cards dealt, the top one must be moved to one of the tableau piles before three more cards can be dealt. Moving the remaining cards is optional.

The tableau piles can contain a max of 4 cards each. Each tableau pile is to be built up to total 10. Aces equal 1 and face cards have a value of 0. Tens are wild and can equal any value from 0 to 10. Once played, a card in a tableau pile cannot be moved. The goal of the game is to build each pile with four cards with a total value of 10.
