Tableau Rules
- There are sixteen tableaus.
- The tableaus build down by alternating colors.
- For example the 10♠ may move onto the J♦ and the 10♥ may move onto the J♣. Starting with the 10♥ the following sequence can build on top 9♠ 8♦ 7♣.
- Empty tableau spaces fill with a card from the stock.

Strategy & Tips
3 tips for the best chance of winning Sweet Sixteen:
- When possible, immediately start to build on Kings. As you cannot build around-the-corner (King onto Ace) they can never be moved to free up a space.
- Prefer to continue building on existing piles rather than starting new ones.
- Move cards from the smaller piles onto the larger ones when possible.
