<h1>Sultan</h1>

<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>

Sultan (or Sultan of Turkey) is a solitaire card game, meaning it is played
|
|
only by one person. However this game uses two packs of playing cards.
|
|
<p>
|
|
These cards make up the foundations and will be built up by suit in order. On
|
|
the single Ace of hearts foundation, the next cards will be 2 of hearts, 3 of
|
|
hearts, etc,. On the Kings, the order is Ace, 2, 3, etc, of the appropriate
|
|
suits. Throughout the game, the only card which you cannot place other cards
|
|
on is the King of hearts (the Sultan) in the center location.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Six cards (or eight in some versions) from the deck are placed around the main
|
|
layout to make up the reserve.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The player then makes moves, which may be:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Taking the top card from the face-down deck and placing it in the face-up
|
|
waste pile.
|
|
<li>Taking the top card from the waste and adding it to one of the foundation
|
|
cards.
|
|
<li>Moving a card from the reserve into the main design (following on the
|
|
suit) and then replacing it with the next card from the deck.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The goal is to end the game with the Sultan (King of Hearts) surrounded by his
|
|
"Queens". When there are no more cards in the deck, the player may re-deal
|
|
(shuffle the waste and place face-down), but only twice per game. This means
|
|
the player may only run through the deck three times total, and then the game
|
|
ends.
