Rules
Ali Baba is played with one deck of 52 cards.
Aces are moved to the foundations at the start of the game.
After shuffling, a tableau of ten fanned piles of four cards each is laid from left to right.
The remaining cards form the stock. The four foundations are built up by suit from Ace to King, and the tableau piles can be built down in suit. A top card from any tableau pile can be moved to another tableau pile or to the foundation. Any empty piles can be filled with any card. Cards of the same suit built down can be moved as a unit between tableau piles.
The aim of the game is to build up four stacks of cards starting with Ace and ending with King, all of the same suit, on one of the four foundations, at which time the player would have won.
The player may take one card at a time from the stock and play to the tableau, the foundations, or to the wastepile.
The player may use the top card from the wastepile.
The player may only go through the stock once.
