<h1>Sly Fox</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Sly Fox is a solitaire card game played with two decks of 52 playing cards
|
|
each. It is probably named because the player has to be "sly as fox," so to
|
|
speak, to win, if played correctly.
|
|
<p>
|
|
First, one king and one ace of each suit are removed. The aces are placed
|
|
vertically on one side of the tableau, the kings are placed on the other side.
|
|
These form the foundations.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The rest of the cards are shuffled and twenty cards are placed between the
|
|
ace-foundations and the king foundations. These 20 cards form the reserve and
|
|
are available to play only onto the foundations. The aces are built up, while
|
|
the kings are built down, all by suit.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Gameplay is divided into three phases.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The first phase involves moving the cards from the reserve to the foundations
|
|
for building only. When a card leaves the foundation, the gap it leaves behind
|
|
is immediately filled with a new card from the stock. When all possible moves
|
|
are made, or when the player had done all the moves he can make, play moves to
|
|
the second phase.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The second phase of gameplay involves dealing 20 cards from the stock, one at
|
|
a time, to any of the 20 piles (the cards already there serve as bases) on the
|
|
reserve. It does not matter where each card ends up; a pile can contain more
|
|
than two cards while a pile would end up with just one card. In this phase, no
|
|
building is allowed until all twenty cards are deal. Once the twenty cards are
|
|
dealt, gameplay moves to the third phase.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The third phase is similar to the first phase, moving cards from the reserve
|
|
to the foundations. The top cards of each reserve pile are available for play.
|
|
This time though, when gaps occur, they are not immediately filled.
|
|
Furthermore, the cards on the reserve are not built on each other; they can
|
|
only be transferred to the foundations, and cards on the foundations cannot be
|
|
moved once built. When all possible moves have been made, or when the player
|
|
has made all moves one can make, gameplay moves back to the second phase.
|
|
<p>
|
|
During this deal of 20 new cards, the player has the discretion of filling the
|
|
gaps left behind during the third phase. When all twenty cards are dealt,
|
|
gameplay shifts to the third phase. The second and third phases are repeated
|
|
until the stock has been used up.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game is won when all cards end up in the foundations. As mentioned
|
|
earlier, if done correctly, it can be won; but chances of doing this are low.
