<h1>Rittenhouse</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>
|
|
Cards are dealt to nine tableau piles. One set of foundations is located
|
|
above the leftmost four tableau piles, and these are built up by rank from
|
|
ace to king, regardless of suit. A second set is located above the rightmost
|
|
four piles, built down by rank from king to ace, regardless of suit. A card
|
|
can only be moved to a foundation from the pile directly under it, or from the
|
|
middle pile, and cards that can be moved to the foundations are moved there
|
|
immediately.
|
|
<p>
|
|
During the initial deal, after dealing each row, any cards that can be moved
|
|
to a foundation are moved there immediately.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Following the initial deal, the tableau piles are built up or down by rank,
|
|
regardless of suit. Only single cards can be moved between tableau piles, and
|
|
any card can fill empty piles. The game is won if all cards are moved to the
|
|
foundations.

<h3>History</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The invention of Rittenhouse is credited to Captain Geoffrey T. Spaulding,
|
|
the notable African explorer. Captain Spaulding is actually a character
|
|
played by Groucho Marx in the 1930 film, Animal Crackers. The name
|
|
Rittenhouse comes from Mrs. Rittenhouse, a millionaire he tries to impress
|
|
during the film.
