Winning depends mostly on skill, but even with strategic play the odds of winning are 1 in 15.

Rules

The goal is to build each foundation up in suit from ace to king.

The layout consists of six columns each with six cards dealt to them at the start of the game. Aces dealt are moved to the foundations and replaced with another card from the stock, although this provision isn't followed by all sources.[2]

Cards are dealt from the stock to the first column in the tableau. Building within the tableau happens by suit in descending sequence. A sequence of cards of the same suit can be moved together, and spaces in the tableaucan be filled by any card. There is no redeal.
