Rules for Single Left Solitaire

Play Single Left

Description:

Thomas Warfield's one-deck version of Moving Left.

Cards:

One standard deck.

Goal:

Move all cards to the foundation.

Foundation:

Four foundation piles.

Any ace may be moved to any empty pile in the foundation.

A card may be added onto a foundation pile if it is one higher than the old top card of the pile and of the same suit.Thus, the only card that could be played on a 6♥ would be a 7♥.

Once on the foundation, cards may not be moved back off..

Tableau:

Seven tableau piles with one card in the first pile, two cards in the second, three in the third, and so on. The top card in each pile is dealt face up, all others are face down.

A card may be added onto a tableau pile if it is one lower than the old top card of the pile and of the opposite color.Thus, the cards that could be played on Q♥ would be J♠ or J♣.

Cards on the tableau that are not under another card are available for play onto the foundation or any other tableau pile.

Empty spaces in the tableau are automatically filled with a card from the stock. If the stock is empty, then it is filled with a card from the undefined. If the undefined is empty, then it is filled with a card from the waste. If the waste is empty, then it is filled with a card from the stock. If the stock is empty, then empty spaces in the tableau may be filled by kings only.

Groups of cards in sequence down may be moved from one tableau column to another if the cards are alternately red and black.

Stock and Waste:

The remaining cards form the stock and there is one waste pile.

Each time you click on the stock, one card will be dealt from the stock to the waste. Only one pass through the stock is permitted.

The top card of the waste is available for play to the tableau or the foundation.
