These terms are usually combined in game explanations.

Reserve - A group or pile(s) of cards where building is usually not permitted.Some allow stacks of cards which match the building requirements to be moved, others only allow the top card to be moved, yet others allow any stack to be moved. Tableau - This consists of a number of piles of cards where cards can be moved from one area to another, under varying rules.Usually only thirteen cards are allowed in each foundation. Usually they are built up by suit from Ace to King, but some games have different rules. Foundations - Most solitaire games feature foundations - the aim of these games is to clear the tableau and move all the cards to the foundations.Only the topmost card is available for play. Only cards from the stock can be played to the waste.

Cascade - Cards are built on one another, starting from the bottom up.Viewing these cards during a deal is often considered illegal, so they should be dealt face down. In most cases, these cards are and should be kept hidden. Stack - Cards are placed directly on top of each other, disallowing the player to see any card other than the top.
