<h1>Colorado</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Colorado is a solitaire card game which is played using two decks of playing
|
|
cards. It is a game of card-building which belongs to the same family as
|
|
<i>Strategy</i>, <i>Sir Tommy</i>, <i>Calculation</i> and <i>Sly Fox</i>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
First, twenty cards are dealt in any arrangement the player desires; it is
|
|
suggested that cards should be two rows of ten cards each.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Then the player searches for an Ace and a King of each suit. These cards
|
|
should go to the foundations whenever they become available for play. The
|
|
foundations that start with the Aces are built up by suit, while those that
|
|
start with Kings are built down by suit. The spaces that they left behind are
|
|
immediately filled with cards from the stock.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The stock is then dealt one card at a time, and any card that cannot be built
|
|
yet to the foundations is placed on one of the 20 cards which are in fact
|
|
bases for waste piles. When placing cards onto a wastepile, they do not have
|
|
to follow suit or rank. However, there is no building; when a card is placed
|
|
on a waste pile, the only place it would go is to a foundation.
|
|
<p>
|
|
After each deal, the player will determine if any of the cards on the waste
|
|
piles can be built onto the foundations.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Again, whenever a waste pile becomes empty, no matter how many cards it
|
|
previously had, it is filled with a card from the wastepile. This is the only
|
|
way an empty pile is refilled because when the stock runs out, spaces are no
|
|
longer filled.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game ends soon after the stock has run out. The game is won when all cards
|
|
are built into the foundations; but when there are still cards that are stuck
|
|
and cannot be possibly released, the game is lost.
