You are only allowed to pass through the waste pile once, so resetting the deck is not allowed. Of course you can only use the top card of the waste pile. You can turn over a single card at a time and put them whenever you decide you want to or of course if there are no possible moves for you. If you cannot make a move you can turn over a new card by clicking on the facedown deck in the top left of the game screen. When a column is empty you can move any single card onto it to start it off. For example you can move a 10 of clubs only onto a Jack of clubs. You may only move one card at a time, and you can only move a card to another pile if it is one lower and in the same suit. You can use the middle 10 piles to hold the cards temporarily while you build up the cards in the foundation piles. So after an Ace of hearts is put into a foundation pile, it would have to be followed by the two of hearts and so. Each foundation starts with an Ace of a particular suit and rises up to the King of that suit. The foundation piles are built in suit in an ascending order from Ace to King. As two decks are used you will often notice duplicate cards after setting-up. All the remaining cards are left in a waste pile that can be used later. 40 cards are dealt face-up in columns that consist of four cards.
