<sect2><title>Règlas</title>
80
Cards in the Tableau are built down by alternating color. Builds of
81
cards can be moved. An empty pile in the Tableau can be filled with
82
a King or a group of cards with a King on the bottom.
85
Cards are flipped from the Stock to the Waste individually. Top
86
card in Waste is in play. When Stock is empty, move all cards in
87
Waste back to the Stock, maintaining order. You can go through the
91
Foundations are built up in suit from Ace to King. Cards in
92
Foundations are still in play. Double clicking on a card will move
93
it to the appropriate Foundation pile if such a move is possible.
97
<sect2><title>Options</title>
99
Three card deals: If checked, the Stock will deal three each time.
100
Otherwise, the Stock will deal singly into the Waste.
103
King Only: If checked empty space may be filled with Kings or
104
groups of cards starting with a King only.
108
<sect2><title>Scoring</title>
110
Each card in the Foundation piles scores one point.

Maximum possible score: 52
116
<sect2><title>Strategy</title>
118
Don't give up the ship! Try brute force methods when the game seems
119
over. Sometimes a combination of using cards already in the
120
Foundation and rearranging sequences will free up some needed cards.
