<h1>Frog</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Frog (also known as Toad) is a solitaire card game which is played with two
|
|
decks of playing cards. Because of its gameplay, it belongs to the same family
|
|
of solitaire games as Strategy, Sir Tommy, Calculation, and Puss in the
|
|
Corner.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Thirteen cards are dealt face up to become the reserve, also known as the
|
|
"Frog." Any aces that are about to be dealt are separated and placed in the
|
|
foundations; they are not counted in the reserve count. Once the reserve is
|
|
formed, it is then squared up (i. e. arranged to become one neat pile) and
|
|
placed on the tableau face up. The aces that are separated in making the
|
|
reserve are placed next to the reserve. If case there is no ace segregated in
|
|
making the reserve, an ace is removed from the stock to become the first
|
|
foundation.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The foundations are built up regardless of suit up to kings. The aces already
|
|
in the foundations can be built immediately while any ace that becomes
|
|
available in the game is placed in the foundations.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The cards are dealt one at a time onto one of five wastepiles. It is the
|
|
player's discretion where each pile is placed as long as it is placed in one
|
|
of only five wastepiles. The top cards of each wastepile is available for play
|
|
to the foundations. The same goes for the top card of the reserve. However,
|
|
once a card is in a wastepile, it stays there until it can be built on the
|
|
foundations. Also, there is no redeal.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game ends long after the stock runs out. The game is won when all cards
|
|
are built in the foundations.
|
|
<p>
|
|
As in the other games mentioned above, it is a good idea to reserve a
|
|
wastepile for both kings and queens and to build downwards whenever possible
|
|
in order to win.

<h3>Fly</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Fly is a solitaire card game which is played the same way as Frog. The
|
|
difference is that the Aces are removed and placed in the foundations before
|
|
the game begins. In this game, the reserve is called the "Fly."
