<h1>Parallels</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Parallels is a solitaire card game which is played with two decks of playing
|
|
cards. It is so called because the cards are lined up in rows parallel to each
|
|
other, so to speak.
|
|
<p>
|
|
First, one king and one ace of each suit is removed and the aces and kings are
|
|
each lined into columns to form the foundations. The aces are built up while
|
|
the kings are built down all by suit.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Between the two foundation columns, the player deals a row of ten cards,
|
|
forming the tableau. All of these cards are available for play on the
|
|
foundations and the spaces they leave behind are immediately filled from the
|
|
stock.
|
|
<p>
|
|
When play comes to a stand still, a second row of ten cards is dealt below the
|
|
first row. All cards are still available for play and the spaces left behind
|
|
are immediately filled from the stock.
|
|
<p>
|
|
When play comes to a stand still a second time, a third row of ten cards is
|
|
dealt. At this point onwards, the following rules apply:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A card is available to be built to the foundations if at least one of its
|
|
narrower edges is free. Therefore, the cards at the top and bottom rows are
|
|
available for play and card in the middle rows becomes available after a card
|
|
immediately above or below it is played.
|
|
<li>There is no compulsion in filling spaces in the tableau. As long as there
|
|
are moves available for player to make, spaces can be filled later.
|
|
<li>All spaces in the tableau must be filled when play goes on a standstill.
|
|
The order is from left to right, top to bottom. There is no building at this
|
|
point.
|
|
<li>Only when the existing spaces in the tableau are filled is the time
|
|
another row of ten card is dealt at the bottom of the existing rows.
|
|
<li>Peeking on the next card in the stock is absolutely not allowed; doing so
|
|
will force that card dealt to the tableau.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Also, reversals are allowed in the game, i.e. when the two foundations of the
|
|
same suit meet at one point, the player can move the cards from one foundation
|
|
to the other except the base cards (ace and king) of the foundations.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game ends when play stops after the stock has run out. The game is won
|
|
when all cards are built into the foundations.
