<h1>German Patience</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>German Patience is a solitaire card game which is played with
|
|
two decks of playing cards shuffled together. It is an unusual game
|
|
because building in the tableau or playing area is up, as opposed
|
|
to building down in many others. Despite its name, it is not known
|
|
if this game originated from Germany.</p>
|
|
<p>The object of this game is to form eight columns of thirteen
|
|
cards each. Each column starts with any card and ends with the card
|
|
a rank lower than the first. In this game, building is
|
|
round-the-corner, i.e. an Ace can be built over a King and a Deuce
|
|
(or Two card) can be placed over an Ace.</p>
|
|
<p>At the start of the game, each column in the tableau starts with
|
|
one card. The cards in the tableau are built up regardless of suit.
|
|
Only the top card of each column is available for play and cards
|
|
are moved one at a time. Spaces can be filled with any card.</p>
|
|
<p>When there are no more moves that can be make, the stock is
|
|
dealt one a time. Any card that cannot be placed onto the tableau
|
|
yet 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 (although some
|
|
rule sets allow a redeal by picking up the waste pile and turning
|
|
it face down to make a new stock). The game is won when all cards
|
|
are built onto the tableau. It actually does not matter which card
|
|
starts each column.</p>
