While playing, thirty-five cards are placed on the table into seven columns of five cards each. The rest of the deck is put down next to the foundation. To begin, the person can choose a card from the deck or from the lowest seven cards in the column.
Once the 1st card is selected, the person moves cards beginning at the lowest card in each column that has a value that is 1 more or less than the card showing face up in the foundation.
The person tries to move as many cards as achievable to the foundation from the columns. If the person cannot find a suitable card in the column, they may take an additional card from the deck and put it on the foundation.
