The six building stacks are found in the bottom half of the screen and represent the columns of the "garden". The building stacks accept cards in descending rank regardless of suit. Any card can be placed in an empty building stack. The reserve, or "bouquet" is located in the top row of the layout and contains the 16 cards which are not in the building stacks. Any card in the reserve is accessible, not just the topmost. The suits stacks are located on the left and right sides of the layout.

To move a card, click on the card (which will highlight it) and then click on the destination. Only cards at the top of a building stack or anywhere in the reserve can be moved. An ace can be moved to its suit stack. (This will usually be done automatically.) A card can be moved to its corresponding suit stack if the rank of the card at the top of that stack is one less than the card's rank (Kings have a rank of 13, queens 12, jacks 11 and an ace has a rank of 1). A card can be moved to an empty building stack. A card can be moved to another building stack if the card at the top of the destination stack has a rank one more than the card. Ordered cards at the bottom of a building stack can be moved to another building stack if there is a card in the ordered sequence which has a different color and a rank one less than the card at the top of the destination stack. There must be an empty space for every moved card below the top card. To move an ordered sequence of cards at the top of a stack to an empty building stack, first select all the ordered cards by clicking twice on the stack, then click the empty space. If there are fewer empty spaces than selected cards, the number of cards moved will equal the original number of empty spaces. A card will be automatically moved to the suit stacks from the tops of the building stacks if the cards which might be placed on top of it are already in the suit stacks. Clicking undo will retract an automatic move.

Increase the rank of the cards at the top of the suit stacks (in the options window) if you are unfamiliar with the game. Try to obtain empty spaces early in the game. A game is probably not winnable if at least two spaces cannot be created. Do not remove a card from the reserve unless it is required to make a move in a building stack. Move an ordered sequence of cards in stages if there are not enough empty spaces to move the sequence in one step. If there is more than one empty space, transfer as many cards as possible to each space and then reassemble the sequence on the desired destination stack. Even if there are not enough empty spaces, it might be possible to move the sequence if there is a card on top of another stack which can accept a subsequence of the moved cards.
