Open space with purpose
Move cards and fill empty columns
Move single cards or runs, turn hidden cards, and use empty columns for kings.
05.1
Move a card or a legal run
Any face-up tableau card can be the start of a move. If cards beneath it already descend in alternating colors, they travel with it as one run.
The first card of that run must still fit the destination: one rank lower and the opposite color.
05.3
Reserve empty columns for kings
Only a king or a correctly ordered run beginning with a king may move into an empty tableau column. An empty column is valuable because it can relocate a long king-led run and uncover more cards.
Do not empty a column without checking which king can use it and what that move will reveal.
