  • The Tableau: The main table made by seven piles with different number of cards.

The setup

The Tableau has seven piles in chronology from 1 to 7, First pile has 1 card, second pile has 2 cards and so on. The top card of each pile is faced up, whereas below them the rest of the cards are turned upside-down. Left over cards after settling the Tableau piles are stocked upside-down as Stock. The Waste and Foundation would be empty at the start of the game.
