Rules

The four Aces start the upward foundations. The remaining 48 cards are dealt face up into thirteen columns: four of three cards and nine of four.

Only a column’s top card may move. Build tableau columns one rank up or down by suit.

Empty columns cannot be refilled.

Build four foundations upward from Ace and four downward from King, each by suit. The two foundations of a suit can meet at any rank.

Tips

Use both directions of tableau building to uncover blocked cards.
Start a King foundation when doing so exposes a useful card.
Balance each suit’s upward and downward foundations so its middle cards remain playable.

Bisley is part of The Observatory · FreeCell & open packers and is a variant of Baker’s Dozen. Four Aces start upward foundations; four King foundations build down while the tableau builds both ways by suit.

Baker’s Dozen — Thirteen columns with kings sunk to bottom.
Castles in Spain — Partly covered columns with alternating-color sequence moves.
Good Measure — Ten columns of five with two Aces already on foundations.
Portuguese Solitaire — Baker’s Dozen with Kings allowed in empty columns.
FreeCell — All cards visible. Use the four cells.
Penguin — FreeCell-style play with seven flipper cells.

Beleaguered Castle (Castle games) — Eight columns flanking four aces.
Calculation (Waste-pile builders) — Race four foundations built by fixed increments.
Canfield (Canfield family) — Compact reserve patience with wrap-around foundations.
