Rouge et Noir is considered interesting in view of its large layout, and for enabling players to achieve easy but not automatic wins.
The object of the game is to release two red aces and two black aces (regardless of suit) to become foundations and to build each of them up, by color, to kings, while at the same time building four columns of cards in the tableau, each starting with a King and built down by alternating color.
When a sequence that starts with a King, ends with an Ace, and is built down in alternating colors is formed, it may be discarded at the player's discretion.
The game is won when 52 cards are built onto the four foundations while four King sequences are discarded.
It also helps to take into account the fact that the player should not touch a completed column of thirteen cards..
