<h1>Gate</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Gate is a solitaire card game which is playing using a deck of
|
|
52 playing cards. It is called such because the cards are laid own
|
|
in such a way that they form a gate.</p>
|
|
<p>First, two columns of five cards are laid out face-up with their
|
|
faces showing. These act as the reserve or "gate posts." Then,
|
|
between these columns, two rows of four cards are dealt, again
|
|
face-up. These compose the "rails" or the tableau. The spaces for
|
|
the foundations are allotted over the first row of cards.</p>
|
|
<p>The object of the game, like solitaire games, is to find the
|
|
aces, place then onto the foundations, and build each of them up by
|
|
suit to kings.</p>
|
|
<p>The cards in the rails are available for play, to be placed on
|
|
the foundations or onto other cards in the rail. The cards in the
|
|
rails are built down by alternating color (a card with a red suit
|
|
over a one with a black suit, and vice versa). Spaces in the rails
|
|
are filled using cards from the gate posts. If the cards in the
|
|
gate posts are used up, the top card of the wastepile, or the next
|
|
card in the stock if there is no wastepile, can be used to fill
|
|
spaces. The gate posts are never replenished.</p>
|
|
<p>Generally, one card can be moved at a time. The most prevalent
|
|
rule regarding moves of sequences is that sequences can be moved as
|
|
a whole. However, there is a rule set which does not allow moving
|
|
groups of cards, effectively making the game harder (mentioned in
|
|
<i>Card Games Made Easy</i> by Marks and Harrod, ISBN
|
|
1-899606-17-3).</p>
|
|
<p>The stock can be dealt one card at a time to a wastepile. The
|
|
top card of which is available for play, either to placed in on the
|
|
foundations or on the rails, or to fill a gap on the rails.
|
|
However, once the stock runs out, there are no redeals.</p>
|
|
<p>The game ends soon after the stock runs out. The game is won
|
|
when all cards are played to the foundations.</p>
