<h1>German Patience</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
German Patience is a solitaire card game which is played with two decks of
|
|
playing cards shuffled together. It is an unusual game because building in the
|
|
tableau or playing area is up, as opposed to building down in many others.
|
|
Despite its name, it is not known if this game originated from Germany.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The object of this game is to form eight columns of thirteen cards each. Each
|
|
column starts with any card and ends with the card a rank lower than the
|
|
first. In this game, building is round-the-corner, i.e. an Ace can be built
|
|
over a King and a Deuce (or Two card) can be placed over an Ace.
|
|
<p>
|
|
At the start of the game, each column in the tableau starts with one card. The
|
|
cards in the tableau are built up regardless of suit. Only the top card of
|
|
each column is available for play and cards are moved one at a time. Spaces
|
|
can be filled with any card.
|
|
<p>
|
|
When there are no more moves that can be make, the stock is dealt one a time.
|
|
Any card that cannot be placed onto the tableau yet is placed on the waste
|
|
pile, the top card of which is available for play.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game ends soon after the stock has run out (although some rule sets allow
|
|
a redeal by picking up the waste pile and turning it face down to make a new
|
|
stock). The game is won when all cards are built onto the tableau. It actually
|
|
does not matter which card starts each column.
