Interregnum (solitaire) - Game Play

Game Play

The game starts with eight cards dealt in a row. The space below each card is a foundation and the card above the foundation is its last card. Therefore, the foundation must start with a card which is a rank higher than the card over it and is built up from there without any regard to the suits. (E. g. a 5 above a 4, a 2 above an A, an A above a K, etc.)

Below the foundations are eight tableau piles each starting with one card each. The cards on the tableau must be moved to the foundations and there should be no further manipulation within the tableau. When no more moves are possible, a card is dealt from the 88-card reserve (the leftover cards) into each pile, whether empty or having at least one card. The top card of each pile is available for play.

When a foundation has been filled to the twelfth card, the card above the foundation is placed over it as the thirteenth card, closing out the foundation and setting it aside.
