<h1>Salic Law</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Salic Law is a solitaire card game using two decks of 52 playing cards each.
|
|
It is named after the Salic Law which prohibits women from ascending to the
|
|
throne or obtaining inheritance.
|
|
<p>
|
|
First, the Queens are taken out of the stock. Then a King is placed on the
|
|
tableau. The rest on the cards are shuffled and dealt on the King to form a
|
|
column. The player deals as many cards over the King until another King
|
|
appears, starting a new column. This is done until all eight Kings are laid
|
|
out cards have been dealt, resulting in eight columns of various lengths.
|
|
<p>
|
|
During dealing, whenever an Ace appears, it is put onto the foundations. In
|
|
fact, once aces are in the foundations over the kings, they can be built up to
|
|
Jacks regardless of suit, even while dealing is in progress as long as the top
|
|
cards of the columns already dealt are available for play, as well as any
|
|
applicable card that appears during dealing.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once all cards have been dealt, building to the foundations continue. Cards on
|
|
the tableau cannot be built on each other. However, a column containing just a
|
|
King is considered vacant and any card can be placed there. One card can be
|
|
moved at a time and as mentioned earlier, the top card of each column is
|
|
available for play.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game is won when all cards available are placed on the foundations with
|
|
the Jacks on the top of the foundations and the Kings exposed.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Sometimes, players still give the Queens a decorative role by putting them
|
|
between the foundations and the King columns or shuffling them with the rest
|
|
of the deck and putting them between the foundations and the columns later.
