<h1>Intrigue</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Intrigue is a solitaire card game which is played using two decks of playing
|
|
cards. It is similar to another solitaire game of
|
|
<a href="saliclaw.html">Salic Law</a>, but it also involves the queens and
|
|
building in the foundations goes both ways.
|
|
<p>
|
|
First, one queen is removed from the rest of the deck is placed on the layout
|
|
as the base for the first tableau column.
|
|
<p>
|
|
As they become available, all fives and sixes are placed at the foundations
|
|
above the queens. The fives are built down to Aces, then to Kings while the
|
|
sixes are built up to Jacks, all regardless of suit.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Over the first queen, the cards are dealt over it until another queen appears.
|
|
This new queen becomes the base for a new tableau column and cards are dealt
|
|
over it. This is repeated until all eight queens are uncovered and all cards
|
|
are deal.
|
|
<p>
|
|
During the dealing, all fives and sixes are immediately placed in the
|
|
foundations and any card that be built on the foundations must be placed
|
|
there.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once all cards are dealt and all those that can be built in the foundations
|
|
make their way there, building continues. The top cards of each column is
|
|
available for play on the foundations. A column containing only a queen is
|
|
considered empty and any card can be placed on it. There is no building in the
|
|
tableau.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game is won when all cards are build on the foundations with the face
|
|
cards on top.
|

<h3>Variations</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Below are harder variations of Intrigue:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>In <b>Laggard Lady</b>, the fives and sixes may not be moved faster then
|
|
the queens. Therefore, for example, if there are five queens dealt so far, a
|
|
sixth five or a sixth six must be dealt to the tableau.
|
|
<li>In <b>Glencoe</b>, each five and six must be placed over the queen of its
|
|
respective suit. If the appropriate queen is not yet available at a time a
|
|
five or six appears, that five or six must be dealt to the tableau.
|
|
</ul>
