<h1>Captive Queens</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Captive Queens is a solitaire card game using a deck of 52
|
|
playing cards. The game is so named because the queens are being
|
|
"enclosed" as the foundations are built.</p>
|
|
<p>There are two ways that the queens are played in this game:
|
|
either they are laid in the center of the tableau immediately or
|
|
shuffled into the deck and laid out later. Either way, their role
|
|
is just purely decorative and have no further part in the game.</p>
|
|
<p>The game starts by laying the cards from the stock one at a time
|
|
into a wastepile in search for fives or sixes. Once any of these
|
|
cards are found, it becomes a foundation and can be placed on a
|
|
circle surrounding the area where queens are placed; it can be
|
|
built upon immediately. The foundations' places in this circle are
|
|
irrelevant.</p>
|
|
<p>The fives are built down and the sixes are built up, all by
|
|
suit. Here's the chart of which cards are placed on these
|
|
cards:</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
5 4 3 2 A K
|
|
6 7 8 9 10 J
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>After the foundation cards are found, the rest of the stock is
|
|
dealt to look for cards that can be built in to the foundations. In
|
|
case the queens are shuffled into the deck, when a queen is found,
|
|
it is placed on the center.</p>
|
|
<p>Once the stock runs out, the cards are gathered from the
|
|
wastepile and become the new stock from which cards are to be
|
|
dealt. This can only be done twice in the whole game.</p>
|
|
<p>The game is won when all the cards are in the foundations with
|
|
the face cards (kings and jacks) are at the top of each
|
|
foundation.</p>
