Getting started with Golf Solitaire
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Seven columns of five, one stock pass. Free solo play, no wagering.
