<h1>Accordion</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Accordion is a solitaire game using one deck of playing cards. The object is
|
|
to compress the entire deck into one pile like an accordion.
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are two variants of the game in terms of how the game begins.
|
|
<p>
|
|
In one variant, the cards are laid out one by one and are immediately put into
|
|
play if possible. The number of cards to be laid out range from just one card
|
|
to how many cards the width of the table can allow (usually a second or third
|
|
row is constructed in the process). While practical, it also allows an element
|
|
of surprise as the player does not know the next card to be dealt until all
|
|
possible plays are exhausted.
|
|
<p>
|
|
In another variant, the cards are spread out in one line. While this variant
|
|
allows for some tactics to be applied, it can prove to be cumbersome when
|
|
played with a real deck. This variant of the game is implemented in BVS
|
|
Solitaire Collection and Patience Pack.
|
|
<p>
|
|
No matter the layout variant, the game is the same. A pile can be moved on top
|
|
of another pile immediately to its left or separated to its left by two piles
|
|
if the top cards of each pile have the same suit or rank. Gaps left behind are
|
|
filled by moving piles to the left.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Here's an example:
|
|
<b>5</b><img src="../images/s.gif">
|
|
<b>6</b><img src="../images/s.gif">
|
|
<b>10</b><img src="../images/d.gif">
|
|
<b>5</b><img src="../images/h.gif">
|
|
<b>K</b><img src="../images/c.gif">
|
|
<p>
|
|
According to this example, either <b>6</b><img src="../images/s.gif"> or
|
|
<b>5</b><img src="../images/h.gif"> can be placed over <b>5</b><img
|
|
src="../images/s.gif">. These are the only allowable moves.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game is won when all cards are compressed into one pile. But since
|
|
achieving this is next to impossible under these rigid rules, Alfred Sheinwold
|
|
mentions in his book <i>101 Best Family Card Games</i> (ISBN 0806986352) that
|
|
it is considered a win when there are five piles or less at the end of the
|
|
game.
