64
Diamonds cannot be moved except to be place on to the Foundation.
65
The diamond Foundation must be built up in sequence but can start
66
from any number you want.

74
the card, with Ace as one point, Jacks as eleven points, Queens as
75
twelve points, and Kings as thirteen points.

89
Mining for diamonds is hard work. Keep in mind that not all
90
diamonds are worth the same. Don't forget to clean up after
91
yourself and put the other suits in order.
