For another example, with a tableau of (8♣, 9♦, 8♦, 5♥), 8♦ is removed because it is lower than 9♦. Remember the order of the cards. In this game, aces have the highest value, followed by Kings, Queens and Jacks. After the face cards, the numbered cards have descending value, with two being the smallest card. Place the removed cards in a new discard pile. You’ll want the cards in a separate pile: don’t place them at the bottom of the stock like some other card games.
Always try to move aces onto empty spaces. If an ace of any suit comes out of the stock and you end up with an empty space to put it on, move it right away. The goal of the game is to have only the aces remaining on the tableau, so they’ll need to be on the bottom spaces.
If you see a low card stacked on a higher card of the same suit, try to move the lower card to an empty space. For example, if you see a 7 of diamonds on top of a 9 of diamonds, move the 7 to an empty space and then remove it to the discard pile. Try moving aces to empty spots. When an empty space appears and you have an ace that’s free to move to it, move the ace as soon as possible.
