<h1>Emperor</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Emperor (or The Emperor) is a solitaire card game which is
|
|
played using two decks of playing cards. Its rules are not so
|
|
clearly explained that it has at least two versions, one of which
|
|
is exactly like Rank and File, a variant of Forty Thieves. But it
|
|
also one card game that lends itself to "forethough and much
|
|
integrity," according to author Peter Arnold.</p>
|
|
<p>The set-up of the tableau is not clearly defined either. The
|
|
prevalent version prescribes that forty cards are set up into ten
|
|
columns of four cards each. Each column should have its bottom
|
|
three cards face down and its top card face up. The three face down
|
|
cards are collectively known as a "sealed" packet.</p>
|
|
<p>The goal of this game is to put the aces in the foundations as
|
|
soon as they are available and build each of them up to kings.</p>
|
|
<p>All the exposed (face-up) cards are available for play, to be
|
|
built on the foundations or on other exposed cards on the tableau,
|
|
and when an face-down card becomes fully exposed, it is turned
|
|
face-up. Building in the tableau is down by alternating color. Some
|
|
rule sets (like that of Solsuite) allow moving of packed sequences
|
|
as a single unit, making it like Rank and File, while other rule
|
|
sets (such as that of Pretty Good Solitaire) don't allow moving of
|
|
sequences.</p>
|
|
<p>When all possible moves are made, the stock is dealt one at a
|
|
time. A card that cannot be played yet onto tableau or on the
|
|
foundations is placed on the waste pile, the top card of which is
|
|
available for play.</p>
|
|
<p>The game ends soon after the stock has run out. The game is won
|
|
when all cards are built onto the foundations.</p>
