How to play Ukrainian Solitaire

Foundation:

There are four foundation piles.

Single cards can never move to the foundation. Only a complete run, thirteen cards in one suit running ace to king and built on the tableau, can transfer across as a whole.

The top card of each foundation can be moved back into play if another pile will accept it.

Tableau:

Seven tableau piles hold the whole deck. The first pile is a single face-up card. Each pile after that carries one more face-down card than the last, one in the second pile, two in the third, up through six in the seventh, topped with five face-up cards.

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 a 9 of spades is an 8 of spades. The tableau wraps, too, so you may also play a king on an ace.

Any tableau card that isn't covered by another card can move to another tableau pile.

Only kings may fill an empty spot in the tableau.

You can also move any face-up card to another tableau pile where it fits, bringing along everything stacked on top of it.
