More Details

The goal of the game is to eliminate all the cards except the four aces by moving them to the one foundation spot. (discard pile on the top right).

The opening tableau has four columns, each initially containing one card. Cards can be eliminated from the tableau if there is another exposed card of the same suit with a greater rank.

If a tableau spot is open, any exposed card can be moved there. You may also leave spaces open if desired.

In Aces Up, the Ace is the highest rank card and can eliminate every other card of the same suit.

Cards are dealt from the deck four at a time, with one card going into each of the 4 tableau stacks.

Cards cannot be moved except to an empty tableau space or the foundation pile.

The game is won when the only remaining cards are the four aces.

Example:

If these are your four available cards; The 2 of Diamonds may be eliminated because the Jack of Diamonds (same suit, greater rank) is exposed. The player would click the 2 of Diamonds and then click the foundation pile to move the card there.

The remaining cards cannot be moved because there is only 1 of each suit exposed.

Example 2:

If these are your four available cards; The 4 of Spade and the King of Spade may be eliminated because the Ace of Spade (same suit, greater rank) is exposed.

The remaining cards cannot be moved because there is only 1 of each suit exposed.

Example 3:

If these are your four available cards; None of the cards can be moved because they are all different suits. This is known as a flash. The player would click the deck to bring out the next four cards.
