Basic Rules

For solitaire, two decks of 52 cards are used, all kings and aces are preliminary removed from each, laying in a horizontal row on the table. The remaining cards must be shuffled and laid out in the form of a crescent moon, forming sixteen piles (each should have six cards). The cards are revealed in order and discarded onto the kings in descending order (to reduce the face value of the card), and on aces in the upward order. If there is no possibility of moving, then the rules allow you to remove the bottom card from the pile and put it on top of the same pile.
