Clear all 28 cards from three overlapping peaks by playing exposed cards one rank higher or lower than the waste pile. Suits do not matter. Build long runs, and use the stock only when the board has no better move.

Clear all 28 cards from the three peaks. Cards left in the stock do not stop a win.
Play an uncovered peak card if it is one rank above or one rank below the waste card. Suits do not matter. The card you play becomes the new waste card.
If nothing on the peaks fits, draw from the stock. That card becomes the new waste card. If there is no waste card yet, draw to start.
On the setup screen, Standard does not connect Ace and King. Easy does (Ace & King wrap).
