There are some characteristics common to all the games in this -package. Most of them are played with standard 52-card decks, -either one or two. The cards in each suit are ranked King high. K -stands for King, Q stands for Queen and J stands for Jack. In each -game, the cards are piled up in either ascending or descending -order, on stacks in the main playing area, called the Tableau, or -piles off to the side, called Foundations. Some piles must be built -up in sequence within the same suit, and others are built up in -suits of alternating colors.
-The Talon is the stack of cards remaining in the deck, not yet -played upon any of the piles, and not yet placed in the discard -pile. Some people also call it the Stock or the Hand.
-The object of each of these games is to use up all the cards in -building Foundations, or to use up all cards in the Talon according -to the rules of the particular game. If all the cards are used up, -you win. If not, you lose.
-In all of the games, you deal cards from the Talon to the -discard pile by clicking once on the Talon with the left mouse -button, or pressing <D>. Where permitted by the rules, you -can turn over any face-down card with a single click of the left -mouse button. You pick up and move a card by clicking on it and -holding the button down while you drag it to its intended -destination. If the move would violate the rules, the card will not -go anywhere. If any card or cards can be put on a Foundation, or in -the Ace discard pile of Picture Gallery, a single press of the -<A> key will do all of them, a handy way to quickly finish -certain games. Sometimes the <A> key will build up the -Foundations more than you would like, and these rules allow you to -put cards back into the Tableau from the Foundations. Of course, -you can also use the Undo key <Z>.
-If you're confused by all this, just watch a demo game :-)

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
-Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software -Foundation, Inc.
-Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of -this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-0. Definitions.
-"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public -License.
-"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other -kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
-"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under -this License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and -"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
-To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of -the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than -the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a -"modified version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the -earlier work.
-A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work -based on the Program.
-To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without -permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for -infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on -a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes -copying, distribution (with or without modification), making -available to the public, and in some countries other activities as -well.
-To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables -other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a -user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not -conveying.
-An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal -Notices" to the extent that it includes a convenient and -prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate -copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty -for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), -that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to -view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of -user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the -list meets this criterion.
-1. Source Code.
-The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the -work for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any -non-source form of a work.
-A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an -official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in -the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming -language, one that is widely used among developers working in that -language.
-The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, -other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal -form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that -Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with -that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for -which an implementation is available to the public in source code -form. A "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential -component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific -operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a -compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter -used to run it.
-The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means -all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an -executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, -including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not -include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or -generally available free programs which are used unmodified in -performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For -example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files -associated with source files for the work, and the source code for -shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work -is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data -communication or control flow between those subprograms and other -parts of the work.
-The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users -can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding -Source.
-The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that -same work.
-2. Basic Permissions.
-All rights granted under this License are granted for the term -of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the -stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your -unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from -running a covered work is covered by this License only if the -output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License -acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as -provided by copyright law.
-You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not -convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise -remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the -sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, -or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided -that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all -material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making -or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your -behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit -them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside -their relationship with you.
-Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely -under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; -section 10 makes it unnecessary.
-3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention -Law.
-No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective -technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling -obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted -on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting -circumvention of such measures.
-When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to -forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such -circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License -with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to -limit operation or modification of the work as a means of -enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legal -rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
-4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
-You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as -you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and -appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; -keep intact all notices stating that this License and any -non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the -code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and -give all recipients a copy of this License along with the -Program.
-You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you -convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a -fee.
-5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
-You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications -to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under -the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these -conditions:
-a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you -modified it, and giving a relevant date.
-b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is -released under this License and any conditions added under section -7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to "keep -intact all notices".
-c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this -License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License -will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 -additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, -regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no -permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not -invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
-d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must -display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has -interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal -Notices, your work need not make them do so.
-A compilation of a covered work with other separate and -independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the -covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a -larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution -medium, is called an "aggregate" if the compilation and its -resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal -rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works -permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause -this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
-6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
-You may convey a covered work in object code form under the -terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the -machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this -License, in one of these ways:
-a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product -(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the -Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily -used for software interchange.
-b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product -(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a -written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long -as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product -model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a -copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the -product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical -medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no -more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this -conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source -from a network server at no charge.
-c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of -the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This -alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and -only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord -with subsection 6b.
-d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated -place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the -Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no -further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the -Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to -copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source -may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) -that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain -clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the -Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the -Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is -available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
-e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, -provided you inform other peers where the object code and -Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general -public at no charge under subsection 6d.
-A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is -excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need -not be included in conveying the object code work.
-A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means -any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, -family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for -incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is -a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of -coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, -"normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of -product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the -way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is -expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product -regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial, -industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the -only significant mode of use of the product.
-"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, -procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to -install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that -User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. -The information must suffice to ensure that the continued -functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or -interfered with solely because modification has been made.
-If you convey an object code work under this section in, or -with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying -occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession -and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in -perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction -is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this -section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But -this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party -retains the ability to install modified object code on the User -Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
-The requirement to provide Installation Information does not -include a requirement to continue to provide support service, -warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed -by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been -modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the -modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation -of the network or violates the rules and protocols for -communication across the network.
-Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information -provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is -publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the -public in source code form), and must require no special password -or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
-7. Additional Terms.
-"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of -this License by making exceptions from one or more of its -conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the -entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in -this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable -law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, -that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the -entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to -the additional permissions.
-When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option -remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part -of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own -removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place -additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, -for which you have or can give appropriate copyright -permission.
-Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for -material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the -copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this -License with terms:
-a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from -the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
-b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices -or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal -Notices displayed by works containing it; or
-c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, -or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in -reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
-d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors -or authors of the material; or
-e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some -trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
-f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that -material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions -of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, -for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly -impose on those licensors and authors.
-All other non-permissive additional terms are considered -"further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the -Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice -stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that -is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license -document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or -conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work -material governed by the terms of that license document, provided -that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or -conveying.
-If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, -you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the -additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating -where to find the applicable terms.
-Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in -the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; -the above requirements apply either way.
-8. Termination.
-You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as -expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to -propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate -your rights under this License (including any patent licenses -granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
-However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your -license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) -provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and -finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the -copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some -reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
-Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is -reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the -violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have -received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from -that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days -after your receipt of the notice.
-Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate -the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you -under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not -permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses -for the same material under section 10.
-9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
-You are not required to accept this License in order to receive -or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered -work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer -transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require -acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you -permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions -infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by -modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your -acceptance of this License to do so.
-10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
-Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically -receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and -propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not -responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this -License.
-An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of -an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing -an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a -covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that -transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever -licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or -could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession -of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in -interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable -efforts.
-You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of -the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you -may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise -of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate -litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) -alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, -selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion -of it.
-11. Patents.
-A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under -this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is -based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor's -"contributor version".
-A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims -owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or -hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, -permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its -contributor version, but do not include claims that would be -infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the -contributor version. For purposes of this definition, "control" -includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner -consistent with the requirements of this License.
-Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, -royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential -patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and -otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor -version.
-In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any -express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to -enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a -patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To "grant" -such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or -commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
-If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent -license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available -for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this -License, through a publicly available network server or other -readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the -Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive -yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular -work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements -of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream -recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledge -that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work -in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a -country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that -country that you have reason to believe are valid.
-If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or -arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a -covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties -receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, -modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the -patent license you grant is automatically extended to all -recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
-A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include -within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is -conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that -are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a -covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third -party that is in the business of distributing software, under which -you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your -activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party -grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work -from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with -copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from -those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific -products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you -entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, -prior to 28 March 2007.
-Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or -limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that -may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
-12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
-If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, -agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this -License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this -License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy -simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other -pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it -at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to -collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you -convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms -and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the -Program.
-13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
-Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have -permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed -under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a -single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms -of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the -covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero -General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through -a network will apply to the combination as such.
-14. Revised Versions of this License.
-The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new -versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such -new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but -may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
-Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the -Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU -General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you -have the option of following the terms and conditions either of -that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free -Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version -number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any -version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
-If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future -versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that -proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently -authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
-Later license versions may give you additional or different -permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any -author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a -later version.
-15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
-THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY -APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE -COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" -WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, -INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF -MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE -RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. -SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL -NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-16. Limitation of Liability.
-IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN -WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES -AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR -DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR -CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE -THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA -BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD -PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER -PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF -THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
-17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
-If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability -provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to -their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most -closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in -connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of -liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a -fee.
-END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
- - +
+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+ Version 3, 29 June 2007
+
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. +
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies + of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. + +
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS + +
+ 0. Definitions. + +
+ "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. + +
+ "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of +works, such as semiconductor masks. + +
+ "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this +License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and +"recipients" may be individuals or organizations. + +
+ To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work +in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an +exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the +earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. + +
+ A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based +on the Program. + +
+ To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without +permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for +infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a +computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, +distribution (with or without modification), making available to the +public, and in some countries other activities as well. + +
+ To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other +parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through +a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. + +
+ An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" +to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible +feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) +tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the +extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the +work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If +the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a +menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. + +
+ 1. Source Code. + +
+ The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work +for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source +form of a work. + +
+ A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official +standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of +interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that +is widely used among developers working in that language. + +
+ The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other +than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of +packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major +Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that +Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an +implementation is available to the public in source code form. A +"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component +(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system +(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to +produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. + +
+ The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all +the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable +work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to +control those activities. However, it does not include the work's +System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free +programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but +which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source +includes interface definition files associated with source files for +the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically +linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, +such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those +subprograms and other parts of the work. + +
+ The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users +can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding +Source. + +
+ The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that +same work. + +
+ 2. Basic Permissions. + +
+ All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of +copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated +conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited +permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a +covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its +content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your +rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. + +
+ You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not +convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains +in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose +of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you +with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with +the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do +not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works +for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction +and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of +your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. + +
+ Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under +the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 +makes it unnecessary. + +
+ 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. + +
+ No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological +measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article +11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or +similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such +measures. + +
+ When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid +circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention +is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to +the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or +modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's +users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of +technological measures. + +
+ 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. + +
+ You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you +receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and +appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; +keep intact all notices stating that this License and any +non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; +keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all +recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. + +
+ You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, +and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. + +
+ 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. + +
+ You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to +produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the +terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: + +
+ a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified + it, and giving a relevant date. + +
+ b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is + released under this License and any conditions added under section + 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to + "keep intact all notices". + +
+ c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this + License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This + License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 + additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, + regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no + permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not + invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. + +
+ d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display + Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive + interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your + work need not make them do so. + +
+ A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent +works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, +and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, +in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an +"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not +used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users +beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work +in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other +parts of the aggregate. + +
+ 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. + +
+ You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms +of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the +machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, +in one of these ways: + +
+ a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product + (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the + Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium + customarily used for software interchange. + +
+ b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product + (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a + written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as + long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product + model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a + copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the + product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical + medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no + more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this + conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the + Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. + +
+ c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the + written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This + alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and + only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord + with subsection 6b. + +
+ d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated + place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the + Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no + further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the + Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to + copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source + may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) + that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain + clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the + Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the + Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is + available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. + +
+ e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided + you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding + Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no + charge under subsection 6d. + +
+ A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded +from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be +included in conveying the object code work. + +
+ A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any +tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, +or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation +into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, +doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular +product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a +typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status +of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user +actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product +is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial +commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent +the only significant mode of use of the product. + +
+ "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, +procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install +and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from +a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must +suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object +code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because +modification has been made. + +
+ If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or +specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as +part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the +User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a +fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the +Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied +by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply +if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install +modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has +been installed in ROM). + +
+ The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a +requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates +for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for +the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a +network may be denied when the modification itself materially and +adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and +protocols for communication across the network. + +
+ Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, +in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly +documented (and with an implementation available to the public in +source code form), and must require no special password or key for +unpacking, reading or copying. + +
+ 7. Additional Terms. + +
+ "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this +License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. +Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall +be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent +that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions +apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately +under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by +this License without regard to the additional permissions. + +
+ When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option +remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of +it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own +removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place +additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, +for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. + +
+ Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you +add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of +that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: + +
+ a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the + terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or + +
+ b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or + author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal + Notices displayed by works containing it; or + +
+ c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or + requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in + reasonable ways as different from the original version; or + +
+ d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or + authors of the material; or + +
+ e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some + trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or + +
+ f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that + material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of + it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for + any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on + those licensors and authors. + +
+ All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further +restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you +received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is +governed by this License along with a term that is a further +restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains +a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this +License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms +of that license document, provided that the further restriction does +not survive such relicensing or conveying. + +
+ If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you +must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the +additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating +where to find the applicable terms. + +
+ Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the +form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; +the above requirements apply either way. + +
+ 8. Termination. + +
+ You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly +provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or +modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under +this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third +paragraph of section 11). + +
+ However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your +license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) +provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and +finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright +holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means +prior to 60 days after the cessation. + +
+ Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is +reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the +violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have +received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that +copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after +your receipt of the notice. + +
+ Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the +licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under +this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently +reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same +material under section 10. + +
+ 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. + +
+ You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or +run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work +occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission +to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, +nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or +modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do +not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a +covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. + +
+ 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. + +
+ Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically +receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and +propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible +for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. + +
+ An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an +organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an +organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered +work results from an entity transaction, each party to that +transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever +licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could +give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the +Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if +the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. + +
+ You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the +rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may +not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of +rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation +(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that +any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for +sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. + +
+ 11. Patents. + +
+ A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this +License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The +work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". + +
+ A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims +owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or +hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted +by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, +but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a +consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For +purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant +patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of +this License. + +
+ Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free +patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to +make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and +propagate the contents of its contributor version. + +
+ In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express +agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent +(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to +sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a +party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a +patent against the party. + +
+ If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, +and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone +to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a +publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, +then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so +available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the +patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner +consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent +license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have +actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the +covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work +in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that +country that you have reason to believe are valid. + +
+ If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or +arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a +covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties +receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify +or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license +you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered +work and works based on it. + +
+ A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within +the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is +conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are +specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered +work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is +in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment +to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying +the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the +parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory +patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work +conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily +for and in connection with specific products or compilations that +contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, +or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. + +
+ Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting +any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may +otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. + +
+ 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. + +
+ If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a +covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may +not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you +to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey +the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this +License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. + +
+ 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. + +
+ Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have +permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed +under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single +combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this +License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, +but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, +section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the +combination as such. + +
+ 14. Revised Versions of this License. + +
+ The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of +the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will +be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to +address new problems or concerns. + +
+ Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the +Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General +Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the +option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered +version or of any later version published by the Free Software +Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the +GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published +by the Free Software Foundation. + +
+ If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future +versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's +public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you +to choose that version for the Program. + +
+ Later license versions may give you additional or different +permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any +author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a +later version. + +
+ 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. + +
+ THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY +APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT +HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY +OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, +THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR +PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM +IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF +ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. + +
+ 16. Limitation of Liability. + +
+ IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING +WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS +THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY +GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE +USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF +DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD +PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), +EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF +SUCH DAMAGES. + +
+ 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. + +
+ If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided +above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, +reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates +an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the +Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a +copy of the Program in return for a fee. + +

+When the hand is dealt, the twenty reserve stacks of the pagoda +are filled with cards. The twelve foundation stacks on the +right are labeled with the names of the twelve suits. Cards are +played on the foundations first upwards from the fourth rank to +the first, then downwards from first to fourth. When the first +card is played on a foundation, the label changes from the suit +name to "Rising". When the fifth card is played, the label +changes to "Setting". When the last card is played, the label +reverts to the suit name. Cards can be played on the foundations +from the reserve stacks or from the waste stack. An empty foundation +will only accept the fourth rank card of the correct suit. Cards +are dealt from the talon four at a time, and there is only one +round. + +
+Hint: it's important to keep one or more reserve stacks open +during the early stages of the game. + +

-Sanibel and Captiva are islands off the coast of Ft. Meyers, -Florida. One summer while vacationing there, I played through all -the games described in The Complete Book of Solitaire & -Patience Games by Albert H. Morehead and Geoffrey Mott-Smith -(published by Bantam, I believe). I really liked the play of Yukon -but thought the Tableau limited the strategic potential of the -game, so I added an extra deck and experimented with the Tableau -layout, aiming for a game that was almost entirely strategic in -nature but not on the 10th order of mental magnitude. The result is -Sanibel. The number of face-up cards initially dealt to the Tableau -determines how much "luck" will play a factor in the game. If you -only deal 3 or 4 face-up cards to each pile retaining the balance -in the Reserve, chances are you will loose some games. Technically, -there is nothing wrong with that, and sometimes I will play it this -way. On the other hand, dealing every card face up (except the last -4) takes away nothing from the game and only serves to increase the -strategy involved. I prefer the 3-down-7-up layout, since the face -down cards and the small Reserve give you something immediate to -work for, and it can generate a little suspense when you know there -is a card buried that you need and you're trying to find a way to -uncover it...
-This is entirely a game of skill: if you loose, you just weren't -paying attention. Your first priority should be to expose all the -face-down cards and get the rest of the Reserve into play. Also, do -not play a card onto a Foundation simply because you can (Aces are -OK; Twos are probably safe as well): you may need it for building -in the Tableau. You will find that you do not need to calculate -very long sequences to finish the game, but sometimes a bit of -calculation is necessary to expose the buried cards. Sometimes the -piles can grow longer than can be displayed in the window. This -usually isn't a problem, since you can break up the pile fairly -often when other plays become available. Here's something that's a -lot of fun: If you have arranged the cards in proper sequence, -playing as few to the Foundations as possible during the game, one -press of the "Auto" button can play 90 or more cards to the -Foundations. It is possible to have every card in the Tableau at -the end of the game, even the Aces; the "Auto" button shoots them -all up to the Foundations in one long riffle!

+Remember that lines only may cross the empty border. If you are stuck, you +can use the Hint feature to find two tiles which may be removed. Clicking a +tile with the right mouse button will show you all corresponding tiles, no +matter if they are removable at the moment or not. diff --git a/html-src/rules/siebenbisas.html b/html-src/rules/siebenbisas.html index 6c88bc02..1f51808b 100644 --- a/html-src/rules/siebenbisas.html +++ b/html-src/rules/siebenbisas.html @@ -1,32 +1,31 @@ - - -

- -Accordion is a solitaire game using one deck of playing cards. -The object is to compress the entire deck into one pile like an -accordion.
-There are two variants of the game in terms of how the game -begins.
-In one variant, the cards are laid out one by one and are -immediately put into play if possible. The number of cards to be -laid out range from just one card to how many cards the width of -the table can allow (usually a second or third row is constructed -in the process). While practical, it also allows an element of -surprise as the player does not know the next card to be dealt -until all possible plays are exhausted.
-In another variant, the cards are spread out in one line. While -this variant allows for some tactics to be applied, it can prove to -be cumbersome when played with a real deck. This variant of the -game is implemented in BVS Solitaire Collection and Patience -Pack.
-No matter the layout variant, the game is the same. A pile can -be moved on top of another pile immediately to its left or -separated to its left by two piles if the top cards of each pile -have the same suit or rank. Gaps left behind are filled by moving -piles to the left.
-Here's an example: 5
-6 10![](-"../images/d.gif")
5
-K
According to this example, either 6![](-"../images/s.gif")
or 5 can
-be placed over 5. These are the
-only allowable moves.
The game is won when all cards are compressed into one pile.

- - ++Accordion is a solitaire game using one deck of playing cards. The object is +to compress the entire deck into one pile like an accordion. +
+There are two variants of the game in terms of how the game begins. +
+In one variant, the cards are laid out one by one and are immediately put into +play if possible. The number of cards to be laid out range from just one card +to how many cards the width of the table can allow (usually a second or third +row is constructed in the process). While practical, it also allows an element +of surprise as the player does not know the next card to be dealt until all +possible plays are exhausted. +
+In another variant, the cards are spread out in one line. While this variant +allows for some tactics to be applied, it can prove to be cumbersome when +played with a real deck. This variant of the game is implemented in BVS +Solitaire Collection and Patience Pack. +
+No matter the layout variant, the game is the same. A pile can be moved on top +of another pile immediately to its left or separated to its left by two piles +if the top cards of each pile have the same suit or rank. Gaps left behind are +filled by moving piles to the left. +
+Here's an example:
+5
+6
+10
+5
+K
+
+According to this example, either 6 or
+5 can be placed over 5. These are the only allowable moves.
+
+The game is won when all cards are compressed into one pile. But since +achieving this is next to impossible under these rigid rules, Alfred Sheinwold +mentions in his book 101 Best Family Card Games (ISBN 0806986352) that +it is considered a win when there are five piles or less at the end of the +game. +

-Big Ben
-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
-
Big Ben (or known in other solitaire brands as Clock) is a -solitaire card game which uses two decks of playing cards mixed -together. It is basically a large-scale, two-deck version of -Grandfather's Clock and is -probably named after Big Ben, the colloquially used nickname for -the clock face at the tower of the Palace of Westminster in -London.
-Before the start of the game, the following cards are separated
-from the decks: 2, 3![](-"../images/h.gif")
, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K. These cards to form a circle arranged like
-numbers on a clock face with the 2 on
-the "9 o' clock" position, the 5 at
-the "12 o' clock" position, and the K
-at the "8 o' clock." This will be the foundations, or the "inner
-circle" (otherwise known as the "clock").
Twelves piles of three cards are then dealt around the inner
-circle. These piles form the tableau, or the "outer circle." The
-top cards of the outer circle are available for play to the inner
-circle or around the outer circle. Building on the outer circle is
-down by suit, while the foundations in the inner circle are built
-up by suit until the last card corresponds to the its position on
-the clock (i.e. the Q should be built
-up to 7, for instance). Building is
-also continuous, with Aces placed over Kings in the inner circle
-and vice versa in the outer circle.
It should be noted that the minimum number of cards in each pile -in the outer circle is three. A pile containing less than three -cards is said to have gaps; an empty pile has three "gaps," a pile -having one card has two "gaps," and a pile with two cards has one -"gap." As cards are built, "gaps" are formed and the only way these -are "filled" is by dealing cards from the stock. Building on a pile -having cards less than three is like "filling a gap" from the -tableau and is therefore not allowed.
-It is the player's discretion when to fill the "gaps," but when -the player decides to do so, one has to fill all "gaps," i. e. -replenish all piles with less than three cards so each of them -contains three cards once again. For example, two piles are empty, -one pile has one card left, and two piles have two cards left. So -the player has to fill a total of 10 gaps. He does this by dealing -cards one card per pile at a time clockwise starting from the pile -above the "12 o' clock" foundation. No building is done until this -process is complete. The player can do this as long as there are -"gaps."
-Sometimes, the player cannot make any moves even when all piles -contain three cards each. So the player can deal cards from the -stock one at a time. Cards that cannot be built either onto the -inner or outer circles are placed on the wastepile (as a -suggestion, one can place the wastepile at the center of the inner -circle for convenience). Again, cards at the wastepile cannot be -used to fill "gaps." But once the stock is exhausted, there are no -redeals; the game ends sooner after this or later.
-The game is successfully won when all foundations show cards
-corresponding to their positions in the clock (J on "11 o' clock," Q on "12 o' clock," A![](-"../images/c.gif")
on "1 o' clock," and so on.)

- -British Constitution (or simply Constitution) is a solitaire -card game which is played with two decks of playing cards. It is a -card game with a high chance in winning.
-First, the kings, queens, and aces are removed from the stock. -The kings and queens are discarded, while the aces are placed in a -row to form the "Government" or the foundations, which are built up -by suit to jacks.
-Below the aces, four rows of eight cards each are dealt. This -forms the tableau (also known as the "Constitution").
-The cards available for building in the foundations should come -from Row 1 (also known as the "Privy Council") only. Furthermore, -cards in Row 1 can be built down by alternating colors. Available -for building in Row 1 are the top cards of the piles in Row 1 -(initially containing only one card per pile) and the cards from -Row 2. Only one card can be moved at a time.
-When a card leaves from either Row 1 or 2, the space it leaves -behind must be filled with any card from the row immediately below -it, not necessarily the one immediately below the space. The space, -in essence, is pushed downwards until it reaches Row 4 (the "People -Row"), where it is filled with a card from the stock. This is the -only way cards from the stock enter the game. Furthermore, cards -from the stock cannot be played directly to the foundations. If no -more spaces appear in Row 4 with cards still undealt from the -stock, the game is lost.
-The game is won when all cards are built in the foundations up -to jacks.
-Lady Cadogan's rule set specified that as the tableau is being
-set up, one Queen of Diamonds and the eight kings are put above the
-foundations; the Q being "The
-Sovereign," the black Kings being the "Bishops," and the red Kings
-the "Judges," all placed above the foundation. The other Queens are
-discarded. Since these nine cards clearly play a purely decorative
-role in this game, most modern rule sets bypass this, which

-The aim of the game, like many solitaire games, is to release -the aces to the foundations and built each of them up by suit to -Kings.
-First, the cards are deal into nine columns in such a way that -the first column contains nine cards, the second having eight -cards, the third seven, and so on until the ninth column having a -single card. The seven left over cards form the reserve, sometimes -known as "the Belgian Reserve."
-Building on the tableau is down by alternating colors and only -one card can be moved at a time. Only the top card of each column -and all cards in the reserve are available for play. Furthermore, -an empty column can be filled with any available card.
-Once an ace is released, it can be built upon immediately.
-The game is won when all cards end up in the foundations. But -achieveing this is difficult as one in only ten games can be won, -hence the alternate name of Idiot's Delight.

+In this game, there are ten columns.

+The object of the game is to release two red aces and two black aces +(regardless of suit) to become foundations and built each of them up by color +to kings, while at the same time built four columns of cards in the tableau, +each starting with a King and built down by alternating color. +
+All exposed cards are available for play to be built either on the foundations +or in the tableau. Building in the tableau is down by alternating color. +Sequences can be moved in part or in whole and any empty column can be filled +only by a King or a sequence that begins with a King. +

-Furthermore, the top cards of foundations are available to be -built on each other, handy when the two foundations of the same -suit meet.
-When the player has made all the moves one could make, four -cards from the stock are deal onto each column. Then game play -continues. Dealing of new cards and making of new moves continue -until all cards have been played.
-After the game play goes on a standstill, the player then -collects all the cards on the tableau by first gathering the -rightmost column and placing it on the pile to its left, and then -placing this new pile to the pile on its left and so on. Then, -without shuffling, six new columns of four cards each are dealt. -And game play continues as before. This can be done twice in the -game.
-The game is won when all cards are dealt onto the -foundations.

- -Osmosis (also known as Treasure Trove) is a solitaire game -played with a deck of 52 playing cards where the object, like many -solitaire games, is to put the cards into foundations, although not -in numerical order.
-Game play consists of a tableau with four piles of four cards -each (one face-up card on top of three face-down cards). A -seventeenth card is put in the first of four foundations. Cards -with the same suit as this card must be moved to this foundation -and the three other foundations must begin with cards of the same -rank. All undealt cards make up the stock.
-The top cards in each pile in the tableau are the only cards in -play and must be moved to the foundations. A card can be moved to a -foundation if a card of the same value has already been placed in -the foundation before it. Once cards have been placed on the -foundation, any face-down cards remaining in the tableau are turned -face-up. When placing cards from the tableau is no longer possible, -one can use the stock, deal three cards at a time, and use its top -card to make possible moves. One can redeal the stock as long as -there are possible moves from the stock or from the tableau to the -foundations.
-Here's an example (foundations only):
---
Suppose that from the example above, any heart card can be moved
-to the top foundation. One can also place 10 into its foundation, but one cannot put
-2 yet into its foundation because
-2 hasn't turned up yet in its
-foundation. No club cannot be placed at this time as the 7 hasn't appeared.
The game is won when all cards have been moved to the -foundations. But winning any game can rely on where certain cards -are placed in the either one of the piles in the tableau or in the -stock pile. Because of this, finishing a game of Osmosis is slim if -not rare.
-Peek is another solitaire card game using a deck of 52 playing -cards. It is played exactly as Osmosis except all the cards on this -game's tableau are face-up.

- -Virginia Reel is a solitaire card game which uses two decks of -52 playing cards mixed together. The object of the game is to place -all the cards in the 24 foundations.

The -first card in each row shows that it is the row for all other cards -with the same rank. The first row is known as the "2s' row," the -second row the "3s' row," and the third row the "4s' row."

To play, a card can be moved to a foundation or to a rightful -row from the other rows or from the reserve.

Exchanging cards to their rightful rows in this case -is also possible.
-While the first card in each row is already a foundation in -itself and it can be built on, once a card ends up in its proper -row no matter where in the row, it becomes a foundation itself.
-The top cards in the reserve are in play and can be placed on -the foundations, or be placed on a row (if it is a 2, 3, or 4), but -empty piles are not filled until a new batch of eight cards are -dealt every time no more moves are possible.
-Aces play no part in this game. Any ace that is in the reserve -is immediately discarded. But an ace in any of the rows must be -replaced by any applicable card for that row. So in order to -discard an ace from the 2s' row, for example, a 2 must be available -to replace it.
-The game is considered won when all the cards are in -foundations, with all face cards on top.
-Royal Parade is another solitaire card game which is played much -the same way as Virginia Reel.

- -Zodiac is a solitaire card game which is played with two decks -of playing cards shuffled together. It is an old game which first -appeared in Lady Adelaide Cadogan's book Illustrated Games of -Patience is so-named probably because of its "globe"-shaped -layout.
-First, eight cards are deal in a row. They form the cells which -make up the reserve, or the "Equator". Each reserve cell can only -hold one card. Then twenty four cards are dealt in a circle -surrounding the Equator to form the tableau, or the "Zodiac."
-The game is divided into two phases: the first phases consists -of playing the rest of the cards into the Zodiac and the Equator; -the second phase is the building of the cards into the -foundations.
-In the first phase of the game, the cards in the Zodiac are -built up or down by suit; the build can change direction in the -same pile. However, the cards in Zodiac cannot be touched until the -second phase. This means that until the second phase starts, the -cards in the Zodiac cannot be used to build on each other. Also, -any card build on a pile in the Zodiac stays there until the start -of the second phase.
-The cards on the Equator are used to build on the cards on the -Zodiac. The space in the Equator can be filled with an available -card from the stock or the top card of the wastepile. However, -filling a space is not compulsory, i.e. a player can leave a space -open for as long as the player finds it advantageous.
-Meanwhile, the stock is dealt one card at a time, and unplayable -cards are placed on a wastepile, the top card of which is available -to be built on a pile in the Zodiac or to fill a space on the -Equator. Once the stock runs out, the player can just pick up the -remaining cards in the wastepile and turn it face down to make it -the new stock. The player can do this as many times as he wants as -long as there still more cards neither in the Zodiac nor in the -Equator.
-Only when all cards are both in the Zodiac and in the Equator, -the second phase begins. The cards in the Zodiac and Equator are -built straight to the foundations. The foundations are built up by -suit from Aces to Kings. The game is won when all the cards are -built on the foundations.
-At any point in the game, when it becomes stuck, i.e. the cards -in the stock/wastepile cannot be built without blocking other cards -during the first phase, or encountering a block during the second -phase, the game is lost.
-Obviously the player must have great care and consideration in -building the cards in the Zodiac in order for the game to be won. -Also, the layout of the game is large when played with -standard-sized playing cards. So, as a suggestion, the player can -just deal eight cards for the Equator and twenty-four cards for the -Zodiac to save space.
