Base game rules: Take Away

Goal

Move all of the cards to the foundations.

How to play

The cards are dealt into four tableau stacks of 13 face-up cards each. Cards may be moved to one of the six foundations one at a time. Any card may be used to start one of the foundations, but after that, the foundations are built in sequence up or down in rank. Turning the corner is allowed, so aces may be played on kings, and vice versa.

You may not move cards between tableau stacks.

You win if you get all the cards to the foundations.
