<sect2><title>Rules</title>
81
There are two phases to this game. Alternate between the two phases
82
until game is lost or won. Start with Phase One until Tableau is
83
completely filled. At that point, move to Phase Two. Please note that
84
you cannot begin Phase Two unless the Tableau is completely filled. At any
85
point, you can return to Phase One, but remember that you cannot go back
86
to Phase Two unless the tableau is once again filled. An exception to
87
this rule is if the stock and waste are empty.
90
Phase One -- Click on the Stock to move a card into the empty Waste pile. If
96
King: Place in one of the empty four corner spaces.
101
Queen: Place in one of the empty middle two spaces of the top or
107
Jack: Place in any of the empty middle two spaces of the
108
leftmost or rightmost column.
113
Any other card: Place in any empty space.
118
Phase Two -- Remove 10's singly by clicking on them. Remove pairs that
119
add up to 10 by dragging one card on top of its pair.
122
Game is lost if a picture card cannot be put in an appropriate spot or
123
if all the spaces are filled and no cards can be removed.

It is always safest in the middle. During Phase One of play, deal in
141
the middle before going to the edges. If you see a possible pair, place
142
that card on the edge so as to free more edge spaces during Phase Two of
added
removed
