<h1>Braid (Der Zopf)</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Napoleon type. 2 decks. 2 redeals.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Object</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Move all cards to the foundations.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Rules</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This game is somewhat harder and requires thoughtful strategy.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The layout consist of a Braid of 20 cards, two groups of four helper
|
|
fields, four braid fields (each showing a picture of a braid), the waste
|
|
pile, and the eight foundations. The first card automatically dealt to a
|
|
Foundation sets the beginning value for all foundations, and an indicator
|
|
displays the value of that card.
|
|
<p>
|
|
You choose whether the sequences on the foundations will be ascending
|
|
or descending, and your choice is displayed in an indicator. The choice is
|
|
made when you place the first card on a foundation which is not the
|
|
already-determined base card.
|
|
It must follow suit and must have a numerical value
|
|
of either one more or one less than the base card. Ace is considered one
|
|
higher than King, and at the same time one less than Two.
|
|
<p>
|
|
You may place cards on the foundation from anywhere on the table,
|
|
including the end of the Braid. The eight helper fields can be filled from
|
|
the waste pile but not from the Braid or the braid fields. When you move
|
|
a card from a braid field to the foundation, that field is automatically
|
|
filled with the last card on the Braid itself.
|
|
<p>
|
|
In going through the talon, you are limited to three rounds, and an
|
|
indicator reports on that status.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Strategy</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can use the helper fields to temporarily store cards you expect to
|
|
use soon, and you can leave them open until the right card comes up from the
|
|
Talon.
|
|
|
|
<h3>History</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is a solitaire variant of German origin.
