How to play Thumb and Pouch Solitaire

Layout:

4 foundation piles: Build up from Ace to King in the same suit.

7 tableau piles: Build down 7 tableau piles by any suit except the same. Move groupings of cards down by any suit except the same if they are in succession. Fill in the blanks with any lawful card or legal collection of cards. To begin the game, one card is dealt to the first pile, two cards to the second, and so on. The top card is shown.

Stock: Click to flip over 1 card to the garbage pile. There are no redeals.

Waste: Top card available for play on the foundations or tableau.

Foundation:

There are four foundation piles.

Any ace in the foundation may be transferred to any vacant pile.

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 might be played on a J of clubs is a Q of clubs.

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

Tableau:

There are seven tableau piles, with one card in the first, two in the second, three in the third, and so on. The top card in each pile is dealt face-up, while the remaining cards are dealt face-down.

A card may be added to a tableau pile if it is one lower than the pile's previous top card and is of a different suit. As a result, the cards that might be played on the 7 of clubs are 6 of spades, 6 of hearts, or 6 of diamonds.

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.

If no two consecutive cards are of the same suit, groups of cards in succession from high to low may be transferred from one tableau column to another.

Stock and waste:

There is one garbage pile and the remaining cards comprise the stock.

When you click on the stock, one card from the stock is dealt to the garbage. There can only be one trip through the stock.

The top card of the trash can be played to the tableau or foundation.
