<h1>General Rules</h1>
|
|
<p>There are some characteristics common to all the games in this
|
|
package. Most of them are played with standard 52-card decks,
|
|
either one or two. The cards in each suit are ranked King high. K
|
|
stands for King, Q stands for Queen and J stands for Jack. In each
|
|
game, the cards are piled up in either ascending or descending
|
|
order, on stacks in the main playing area, called the Tableau, or
|
|
piles off to the side, called Foundations. Some piles must be built
|
|
up in sequence within the same suit, and others are built up in
|
|
suits of alternating colors.</p>
|
|
<p>The Talon is the stack of cards remaining in the deck, not yet
|
|
played upon any of the piles, and not yet placed in the discard
|
|
pile. Some people also call it the Stock or the Hand.</p>
|
|
<p>The object of each of these games is to use up all the cards in
|
|
building Foundations, or to use up all cards in the Talon according
|
|
to the rules of the particular game. If all the cards are used up,
|
|
you win. If not, you lose.</p>
|
|
<p>In all of the games, you deal cards from the Talon to the
|
|
discard pile by clicking once on the Talon with the left mouse
|
|
button, or pressing <D>. Where permitted by the rules, you
|
|
can turn over any face-down card with a single click of the left
|
|
mouse button. You pick up and move a card by clicking on it and
|
|
holding the button down while you drag it to its intended
|
|
destination. If the move would violate the rules, the card will not
|
|
go anywhere. If any card or cards can be put on a Foundation, or in
|
|
the Ace discard pile of Picture Gallery, a single press of the
|
|
<A> key will do all of them, a handy way to quickly finish
|
|
certain games. Sometimes the <A> key will build up the
|
|
Foundations more than you would like, and these rules allow you to
|
|
put cards back into the Tableau from the Foundations. Of course,
|
|
you can also use the Undo key <Z>.</p>
|
|
<p>If you're confused by all this, just watch a demo game :-)</p>
