Goal

The goal in Alternation Solitaire is to move all 104 cards to the eight foundations.

Layout & deal

Each of the seven tableau piles is dealt seven cards. The cards in a pile are dealt alternating between face-up and face-down, which explains the name of the game.

The rest of the cards goes face-down in the stock.

Allowable moves

The tableau is built in descending order and by alternating colors (e.g. a red 9 can go on a black 10). Correctly ordered sequences of cards can be moved as a group. When face-down cards don’t have any cards left on top of them, they are flipped automatically. Empty tableau piles can only be filled with a King or a sequence of cards starting with a King.

You can click the stock to flip a card to the waste pile. Cards from the waste pile can be moved to the tableau or to the foundation. There is no redeal of the stock once it runs out.

The foundations are built by suit in ascending order, going from Ace to King.
