How to play Bristol

When playing Bristol Solitaire 24 cards are dealt into 8 piles of 3 cards each. Only the top card can be moved from these piles, and can be used to build down the cards in the other piles without regard to suit. In other words, a pile that has a top card of 6 can have any 5 card moved from the top of another pile and placed on it. The foundations can be found on the right of the game screen and must be built up from Ace to King by suit. The reserve piles are located at the bottom of the game screen, and at any time the player may click on the deck and deal 3 additional cards into the waste piles. Only the top card in the reserve pile may be moved into the other piles or to the foundations. No cards from the 8 original piles may be moved into the reserve piles. The player completes the game when all 52 cards are sorted by suit into the foundations.
