There are 2 foundation piles for each suit. Waste pile: Cards are drawn from the stock pile one at a time and go into the waste pile.įoundation piles: These are the eight piles at the top of the game where cards are placed by suit in ascending order from Ace to King. You can only go through the stock pile once. Stock pile: The remaining cards, or a total of 72 cards, are face-down in the stock pile.
Tableau piles: This is the area with 8 columns, each with 4 face-up cards. The goal is to move all 104 cards from the stock pile and tableau into 8 foundation piles by suit in ascending order. Diplomat Solitaire is similar to Emperor Solitaire, but with a smaller tableau of all face-up cards.
