How to play Quadruple Interchange Solitaire
Layout:
16 foundation piles: Build up from Ace to King in the same suit.
11 tableau piles: Build down in the same suit. Groups of cards in sequence may be moved together if they all share one suit. Any card or same-suit sequence may fill an empty pile. At the start of the game, 11 cards are dealt to each pile, with every even-numbered card face-down.
Stock: Click to flip over cards one at a time to the waste. The waste is recycled when the stock runs out, so there is no limit to the number of passes.
Waste: The top card is always available for play on the foundations or tableau.
Foundation:
There are sixteen foundation piles — one for every suit in the four decks.
Each pile starts with an Ace. A card can be added to a foundation pile only if it's one rank higher than the pile's current top card and of the same suit, so the only card that fits on a 7 of spades is an 8 of spades. There can be no more than 13 cards in a pile.
You win the game once all sixteen piles run from Ace to King, with all 208 cards on the foundations.
Tableau:
There are eleven tableau piles of eleven cards each. The even-numbered cards in each pile are dealt face-down, while the odd-numbered cards are dealt face-up, so five hidden cards lie buried in every pile. A face-down card is turned over as soon as it is uncovered.
A card can be added to a tableau pile only if it's one rank lower and the same suit as the pile's current top card, so the only card that fits on an 8 of hearts is a 7 of hearts.
Cards on the tableau that are not covered by another card are free to be played onto the foundations or any other tableau pile.
If all cards are of the same suit, groups of cards in sequence from high to low may be moved from one tableau pile to another in a single move.
Empty spots in the tableau may be filled with any card or any same-suit sequence — a welcome break from the two-deck version, where only Kings may occupy a space.
Stock and waste:
There is one waste pile, and the 87 cards left over after the deal make up the stock.
When you click on the stock, one card is dealt to the waste. When the stock is empty, the waste is turned over to form a new stock, and you may go through it as many times as you like.
The top card of the waste can be played to the tableau or foundations.
