>Rules</H2
><P
>Cards in the Tableau are built down by suit.  Groups of cards can be
moved regardless of sequence.  An empty pile in the Tableau can be
filled with a King or a group of cards with a King on the bottom.</P
><P
>At any point, clicking on the Stock will deal the last three cards, one
each on the first three piles.</P

>Scoring</H2

>For every sequence in suit, points given is (length of sequence - 1).
Each time a sequence of thirteen is created and is in its own slot, four
extra points are awarded.  Reaching a card that was face down gives
three points.</P
