<h1>Amazons</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Amazons is a solitaire card game which is played with a deck of playing cards.
|
|
What is interesting about this game is that it is played with a stripped deck,
|
|
i.e. one that has its deuces, treys, fours, fives, and sixes removed. This
|
|
game is so named because if the game is won, all queens are shown on full
|
|
view, so all kings are removed as well.
|
|
<p>
|
|
First, four cards are dealt. They would be the reserve. Above it is a space
|
|
for the foundations. Once an ace is available, it is placed on the foundations
|
|
and each ace should be placed in order on which they become available.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The first four cards dealt are the bases of the reserve piles, the top card of
|
|
each being available only to the foundation immediately above it. The
|
|
exception to this rule is a queen can be moved to its foundation from any
|
|
pile. The order of placing is <b>A-7-8-9-10-J-Q</b>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
When play goes on a standstill, four more cards are then dealt, one on each
|
|
reserve pile, and stop to see if any of the cards dealt can be placed on the
|
|
foundations. Spaces are not filled until the next deal. This process is
|
|
repeated until the stock runs out. When it does, a new stock is formed by
|
|
placing each pile over its right-hand neighbor, turn them face down and deal;
|
|
this should be done without reshuffling. The process of dealing the cards,
|
|
building to the foundations, and redealing, is repeated without limits until
|
|
the game is won or lost.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game is won when all cards are built onto the foundations, with the queens
|
|
at the top.
