<h1>Nomad</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Gypsy type. 2 decks. No redeal.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Object</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Move all cards to the foundations.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Quick Description</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Like <a href="gypsy.html">Gypsy</a>,
|
|
but with one extra free cell.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Rules</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The eight playing piles in the tableau all start with four cards showing.
|
|
Piles build down by alternate color, and an empty space can be filled
|
|
with any card or sequence. The single free cell at the bottom may hold one
|
|
card at a time.
|
|
<p>
|
|
When no more moves are possible, click on the talon. One card will be
|
|
added to each of the playing piles.
|
|
<p>
|
|
You are also permitted to move cards back out of the foundation.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Strategy</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Making heavy use of the Undo key is explicitly encouraged here - you can win
|
|
many games with a little bit of thought. Keeping the free cell open for sorting
|
|
is usually a good idea.
|
|
|
|
<h3>History</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Nomad was created to be more strategic than Gypsy (hence all the open cards),
|
|
and be solvable more often than it under optimal play. From empiric data, I
|
|
find it's solvable in all but one in ten games, where I was solving only
|
|
slightly above a quarter of the Gypsy games. At the same time, the single free
|
|
cell gives it a very rich complexity.
