Stock and waste

Choose Draw 1 or Draw 3 when you start a game. Selecting the stock turns that many cards onto the waste, and only the top visible waste card is available to play.

Draw 1 lets you reach every stock card on each pass. In Draw 3, near the end of the stock fewer than three cards may remain; those cards are turned as a smaller final group.

The waste behaves like a stack: cards underneath are blocked until the cards above them move or the stock cycles. A waste card may go to a legal tableau position or directly to its foundation.

After the stock is exhausted, select the empty stock area to turn the waste back over. The order is preserved, so playing one card can change which cards become reachable on the next pass.

Remember blocked low cards and look for a move that changes the rhythm of the next cycle.
