<h1>Contradance</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Contradance (also known as Cotillion) is a solitaire card game
|
|
which is played with two decks of playing cards. It is probably so
|
|
called because when the game is won, it shows the king and the
|
|
queen of each suit about to do a dance. It should not be confused
|
|
with another solitaire game of Royal Cotillion.</p>
|
|
<p>Before the game starts, all fives and sixes are separated from
|
|
the shuffled decks and placed on the table. These sixteen cards are
|
|
the foundations; the fives are built down to aces, then kings,
|
|
while the sixes are built up to queens, all by suit.</p>
|
|
<p>The stock is dealt one at a time, and cards that cannot be built
|
|
yet on the foundations are placed on a wastepile, the top card of
|
|
which is available for play on the foundations. The predominant
|
|
rule sets allow only one redeal. To do this, the unplayed cards on
|
|
the wastepile are picked up and turned face down to make the new
|
|
stock.</p>
|
|
<p>The game is won when all cards are built on the foundations.</p>
