Batsford Solitaire

TABLEAU - Player is dealt 55 cards into ten piles. The first pile (left to right) gets one card, the second pile gets two cards, and so on, so the last pile gets ten cards. This set of piles is known as the tableau. The top card of each pile in the tableau is turned face up, so that there are 10 face-up cards.

STOCK - After dealing cards to the tableau, remaining cards are set aside forming a stock pile.

WASTE - An empty waste pile.

FOUNDATION - Eight empty foundation piles.
