<h1>Tournament</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Tournament is a solitaire card game which uses two decks of playing cards
|
|
shuffled together. Despite the name, the game play doesn't seem to be related
|
|
to the word <i>tournament</i>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
First, the cards are shuffled and dealt as two columns of four cards laid out.
|
|
The player must make sure that these eight cards include either a king, an
|
|
ace, or both. If neither a king or an ace is found among these eight cards,
|
|
all cards are collected and shuffled and two new columns of four cards are
|
|
dealt. As long there is no king or ace among the eight cards, the shuffling
|
|
and dealing continues. When at least a king or an ace are present, six columns
|
|
of four cards are then dealt. At least a king or an ace must be present among
|
|
the first eight cards for the game to work. The first eight cards compose the
|
|
reserve (or "the kibitzers") and the six columns of four cards form the
|
|
tableau (or "the dormitzers").
|
|
<p>
|
|
The object of the game is to free one king and one ace of each suit and built
|
|
them by suit. The kings should be built down while the aces should be built
|
|
up.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The top cards of each column on the tableau and all eight cards on the reserve
|
|
are available.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The cards on the reserve are available to be built on the foundations, and any
|
|
space it leaves behind are filled from any from the tableau. But filling
|
|
spaces doesn't have to be done immediately; it is the player's discretion on
|
|
whether to fill a gap or leave it open.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The cards on the tableau are available only to be built on the foundation or
|
|
placed on a space in the reserve; they are not built on each other. In case
|
|
there is a gap resulting on all cards on the column leaving it, it is
|
|
immediately filled by a new set of four cards.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Furthermore, the top cards of foundations are available to be built on each
|
|
other, handy when the two foundations of the same suit meet.
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game is won when all cards are dealt onto the foundations.
