Why play Sir Tommy?
Sir Tommy is a one-way placement game where every waste pile decision changes the rest of the deal, making it more methodical than it first appears.
Classic variant
Sir Tommy Solitaire
Deal cards one at a time from the stock. Each card must immediately go to one of four foundations (built Ace through King, regardless of suit) or be placed face-up on one of four waste piles. Once on a waste pile a card cannot be moved until it is sent to a foundation — only the top card of each waste pile is available. Clear all waste piles and fill the foundations to win.
Click the stock to deal a card, then place it on a waste pile or foundation.

Rules overview
Deal cards one at a time, place each immediately onto a foundation or waste pile, and later promote only the waste tops to foundations until all four foundations are complete.
Strategy tips
- Distribute waste piles by future rank usefulness instead of by convenience.
- A badly buried low card can block an entire foundation lane.
- Think several draws ahead before starting a new waste pile.
