Rules
Westcliff Classic Solitaire is played with one deck of 52 cards.
After shuffling, a tableau of seven fanned piles of three cards each is laid from left to right. The top card of each pile is face up; all others are face down.
The remaining cards form the stock are placed facedown at the bottom right of the screen. The four foundations (light rectangles at the top of the screen) are built up by suit from Ace to King, and the tableau piles can be built down by alternate colors. Every face-up card in a partial pile, or a complete pile, can be moved, as a unit, to another tableau pile on the basis of its highest card. Any empty piles can be filled with a King, or correctly ordered pile of cards starting with a King.
Cards are dealt singly from the stock to the foundations or tableau if possible or to a wastepile if not.
There is no re-deal.
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.
If the player can no longer make any meaningful moves, the game is considered lost.
