How to play Bristol Solitaire

  1. 1Get all 52 cards onto the four foundations, building each suit up from Ace to King.
  2. 2Eight fans of three cards are dealt face up, with any King tucked to the bottom of its fan. Three more cards start three reserve piles, and the rest stay face down as the stock.
  3. 3Only the top card of a fan or a reserve pile can move, one card at a time. Aces start the foundations as soon as they’re free.
  4. 4On the fans, put a card on one that is one higher, whatever the suit (a 6 on a 7). Nothing goes onto a reserve pile, and a fan that empties stays empty.
  5. 5Tap the stock to deal one card onto each reserve pile. You go through the stock only once, so clear what you can before each deal.
  6. 6The game ends when every card is home, or when the stock is gone and nothing more can move. Pick a card, then tap where it should go, or drag it there.
