<h1>Curds and Whey</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Curds and Whey is a solitaire card game which uses a deck of 52 playing cards.
|
|
Invented by David Parlett, this game belongs to the family of solitaire games
|
|
that includes Spider and Scorpion.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The cards are dealt into 13 piles (or columns) of four cards each. The top
|
|
card of each pile is available for play.
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are no foundations in this game; the object is to form four suit
|
|
sequences each running from King down to Ace.
|
|
<p>
|
|
A card can be built in only two ways:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Over a card that is of the same suit and of a higher rank, or
|
|
<li>Over a card that is of the same rank but of a different suit.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For example, the 8 of spades can be built over the 9 of spades or any other 8
|
|
(such as the 8 of clubs).
|
|
<p>
|
|
One card can be moved at a time unless a sequence has been made. If a sequence
|
|
of cards follows either one of the following two guidelines:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Sequences that are built down by suit
|
|
<li>Sequences of cards with the same rank
|
|
</ul>
|
|
...it can be moved as a unit in part or in whole. However, a sequence that
|
|
follows both guidelines at once must be rearranged to follow only one
|
|
guideline before moving as a unit.
|
|
<p>
|
|
When a column becomes empty, it can only be filled by a King or a sequence
|
|
starting with a King.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game is won when the object above is fulfilled, forming four suit
|
|
sequences each running from King down to Ace.
