How to play

Finish with all seven tableau piles containing exactly four cards and each pile evaluating to ten.

• Seven tableau piles start with one card each, three cards are exposed on the waste, and forty-two cards remain in stock; there are no foundations.
• Use the exposed waste card in a tableau group before drawing the next packet of up to three. A pile holds at most four cards and may never exceed value ten; a four-card pile must equal ten. Number cards add their rank, a Ten can establish ten when the lower-card subtotal is below ten, and higher pictures add no numeric value.

Strategy tips

• Reserve low totals for incoming number cards, use picture cards to complete card counts without raising a subtotal, and place a Ten where it can lock a safe group.
• Drawing another packet before using the current exposed waste card is illegal, while filling a fourth slot below ten creates a group that can never be repaired.
• Count both remaining capacity and value in every pile, then use the last waste packets to close exact-ten groups rather than merely finding legal temporary placements.
