<h1>British Constitution</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Two-Deck game type. 2 decks. No redeal.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Object</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Move all the cards to the foundations.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Rules</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This game only uses the ranks from ace through jack. The
|
|
kings and queens are removed.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The aces are dealt to the foundation, and a card is dealt to
|
|
each tableau pile. There are four rows of eight tableau piles.
|
|
The tableau piles are built down by alternate color, so only the
|
|
top card is visible, and only cards from the row directly below
|
|
can be moved to a tableau pile. Only one card can be moved at
|
|
a time.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Cards are dealt one at a time from the stock, and can be moved to
|
|
the bottommost tableau row only. Empty spaces in the bottom row
|
|
of the tableau are immediately filled from the waste pile. No
|
|
redeal is allowed.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The foundations are built up by suit from ace to jack, but only
|
|
cards from the top tableau row can be moved to the foundations.
|
|
The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Notes</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In this game, the foundations are often called the "Government" with
|
|
the tableau called the "Constitution", the top row being the "Privy
|
|
Council" and the bottom being the "People Row".
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the rules written by Lady Cadogan, the queen of diamonds and eight
|
|
kings are placed above the foundations, with the queen being the
|
|
"Sovereign", the red kings being the "Judges", and the black kings
|
|
the "Bishops". Since their role is entirely thematic and decorative,
|
|
this is left out of most modern variants of the game, though it does
|
|
explain why they are omitted from the deck.
