How to play Selective Castle Solitaire

Layout:

4 foundation piles: Build up in suit from the rank of the first card added to the first pile, wrapping from King to Ace if needed, until each pile holds 13 cards.

8 tableau piles: Construct down in any suit, wrapping from King to Ace as needed. Only the top card of each pile is playable. Any available card may be used to fill any open space. At the start of the game, the first four piles receive seven cards face-up, while the following four piles receive six cards.

Foundation:

There are four foundation piles.

Any card may be the first to be moved to an empty foundation pile. This card's rank then becomes the base value for all foundation piles, allowing only cards of the same rank to be played there.

A card may be added to a foundation pile if it is one higher than the pile's previous top card and is of the same suit. As a result, the only card that could be played on a J of diamonds is a Q of diamonds.

Cards cannot be taken from the foundation after they have been placed.

Tableau:

There are eight tableau piles of cards, with the first four each having seven cards and the next four each having six cards. Every card is dealt face-up.

A card may be added to a tableau pile if it is one lower than the pile's previous top card and of any suit. As a result, the card that may be played on an eight is a seven of any suit.

Cards on the tableau that are not covered by another card are free to be played onto the foundation or any other tableau pile.

Any card can fill an empty slot in the tableau.
