<h1>Contradance</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Contradance (also known as Cotillion) is a solitaire card game which is played
|
|
with two decks of playing cards. It is probably so called because when the
|
|
game is won, it shows the king and the queen of each suit about to do a dance.
|
|
It should not be confused with another solitaire game of Royal Cotillion.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Before the game starts, all fives and sixes are separated from the shuffled
|
|
decks and placed on the table. These sixteen cards are the foundations; the
|
|
fives are built down to aces, then kings, while the sixes are built up to
|
|
queens, all by suit.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The stock is dealt one at a time, and cards that cannot be built yet on the
|
|
foundations are placed on a wastepile, the top card of which is available for
|
|
play on the foundations. The predominant rule sets allow only one redeal. To
|
|
do this, the unplayed cards on the wastepile are picked up and turned face
|
|
down to make the new stock.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game is won when all cards are built on the foundations.
