<h1>Osmosis</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Osmosis is a solitaire game played with a deck of 52 playing cards where the
|
|
object, like many solitaire games, is to put the cards into foundations,
|
|
although not in numberical order.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Game play consists of a tableau with four piles of four cards each (one
|
|
face-up card on top of three face-down cards). A seventeenth card is put in
|
|
the first of four foundations. Cards with the same suit as this card must be
|
|
moved to this foundation and the three other foundations must begin with cards
|
|
of the same rank. All undealt cards make up the stock.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The top cards in each pile in the tableau are the only cards in play and must
|
|
be moved to the foundations. A card can be moved to a foundation if a card of
|
|
the same value has already been placed in the foundation before it. Once cards
|
|
have been placed on the foundation, any face-down cards remaining in the
|
|
tableau are turned face-up. When placing cards from the tableau is no longer
|
|
possible, one can use the stock, deal three cards at a time, and use its top
|
|
card to make possible moves. One can redeal the stock as long as there are
|
|
possible moves from the stock or from the tableau to the foundations.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Here's an example (foundations only):
|
|
<pre>
|
|
hearts: 7 8 10 2 4 9 K A
|
|
spades: 7 A 8 K 9
|
|
diamonds: 7 8 K
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Suppose that from the example above, any heart card can be moved to the top
|
|
foundation. One can also place 10 of spades into its foundation, but one
|
|
cannot put 2 of diamonds yet into its foundation because 2 of spades hasn't
|
|
turned up yet in its foundation. No club cannot be placed at this time as the
|
|
7 of clubs hasn't appeared.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game is won when all cards have been moved to the foundations. But winning
|
|
any game can rely on where certain cards are placed in the either one of the
|
|
piles in the tableau or in the stock pile. Because of this, finishing a game
|
|
of Osmosis is slim if not rare.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Peek is another solitaire card game using a deck of 52 playing cards. It is
|
|
played exactly as Osmosis except all the cards on the this game's tableau are
|
|
face-up.
