<h1>Baroness</h1>

<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>

<p>
|
|
Baroness is a solitaire card game that is played with a deck of 52 playing
|
|
cards. Also known as <b>Five Piles</b> and <b>Thirteens</b>, it is a game that
|
|
has an arrangement that is almost like that of Aces Up but with the game play
|
|
of Pyramid.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Five cards are dealt in a row; they will form the bases of the five piles, the
|
|
top cards of which are available for play.
|
|
<p>
|
|
In order to win, one has to remove Kings and pairs of cards that total 13. In
|
|
this game, spot cards are taken at face value, Jacks value at 11, Queens 12,
|
|
and Kings 13. So the following combinations of cards are discarded:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Queen and Ace
|
|
<li>Jack and 2
|
|
<li>10 and 3
|
|
<li>9 and 4
|
|
<li>8 and 5
|
|
<li>7 and 6
|
|
<li>Kings on their own.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When gaps occur, they are filled by the top cards of the other piles; but when
|
|
there are not enough cards to do this (less than five), cards from the stock
|
|
are used.
|
|
<p>
|
|
When gaps are filled and no kings and/or pairs of cards totalling 13 are
|
|
present, five new cards are dealt from the stock, one onto each pile. Game
|
|
play then continues, with the top cards of each pile, as mentioned above, are
|
|
available. This cycle of discarding and dealing of new cards goes on until the
|
|
stock has been used up.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game is successfully won when all cards have been discarded.
