<h1>Alternation</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Alternation is a solitaire card game which is played using two decks of
|
|
playing cards. Its tableau (or playing area) is similar to that of another
|
|
solitaire game <i>Stonewall</i>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Forty-nine cards are set up into seven columns of seven cards each. Keep in
|
|
mind that in each column, the top card, as well as the third, fifth cards from
|
|
the top and the bottom card, are face up, while the second, fourth, and sixth
|
|
cards from the top are face down, much like the pattern OXOXOXO.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The object of the game is to release the Aces as they become available and
|
|
built each of them by suit.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The top cards of each column are the only ones available for play, to be built
|
|
up by suit on the foundations, or on each other down by alternating colors. A
|
|
sequence or part of a sequence can be moved as a unit.
|
|
<p>
|
|
When no more cards can be moved, the stock (the remaining cards) is dealt one
|
|
card at a time. A card that cannot be built on the tableau or on the
|
|
foundations is placed on the waste pile, the top card of which is available
|
|
for play.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game ends soon after the entire stock has run out. The game is won when
|
|
all cards are built onto the foundations.
