Martha Solitaire


Rules

Martha Solitaire is played with one deck of 52 cards.

There are 4 foundations that build up from Aces, in suit. All Aces are placed there before dealing.

The cards are dealt in 12 tableau stacks of 4 cards each, alternating between face-down and face-up.

Tableau stacks are built down in sequence in alternating colors.

One card can be moved at a time, but sequences that are already built can be moved, in part or in whole, as a unit.

An empty tableau spots can be filled with a single card only.

The game is won when all the cards are in the foundations with the Kings on top.
