<h1>Agnes</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Agnes is a solitaire card game which is a variant of the very
|
|
popular game Klondike. It is similar to the latter except on how
|
|
the stock is dealt.</p>
|
|
<p>Dealing the first 28 cards onto the tableau is a lot like in
|
|
Klondike. Then a card is placed in the first of the four
|
|
foundations. This card will be the first card of that foundation
|
|
and all other cards with the same rank should be placed at the
|
|
other three foundations.</p>
|
|
<p>Seven cards are then dealt in a row either above or below the
|
|
tableau. This will act as the reserve. The cards in the reserve are
|
|
available for play.</p>
|
|
<p>Playing the game is a lot like Klondike except that any gaps are
|
|
filled in by a card a rank lower than the first card of the
|
|
foundation. For instance, if the first card of each foundation is a
|
|
10, gaps are only filled by 9s. Foundations are built up by suit,
|
|
while the columns on the tableau are built down in alternating
|
|
colors, wrapping from Ace to King if necessary. When play is no
|
|
longer possible on the tableau, any card on the reserve can be used
|
|
to continue the game. Gaps in the reserve are not filled until a
|
|
new set is dealt.</p>
|
|
<p>If the game cannot continue even from the reserve, a new set of
|
|
seven cards is dealt from the stock to the reserve. The stock is
|
|
good for two deals on the reserve with two cards left over. So
|
|
after the third new deal and no more moves possible, the two left
|
|
over cards are dealt as if they each have a reserve pile on their
|
|
own.</p>
|
|
<p>The game is won when all cards have made their way to the
|
|
foundations.</p>
|
|
<p>There are two versions of the game of Agnes. The one described
|
|
above is called Agnes Bernauer. In another version called Agnes
|
|
Sorel (no connection to the woman with the same name), the game is
|
|
played the same way except the cards in the tableau are built down
|
|
by color, i.e. Red suits on red, black suits on black. Furthermore,
|
|
in Agnes Sorel, spaces are not filled. David Parlett is said to
|
|
have given these two versions their separate names.</p>
