<h1>Grand Duchess</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Grand Duchess (also known as Duchess de Luynes) is a solitaire
|
|
card game which is played with two decks of playing cards. One
|
|
unique feature of this game is the building of the reserve, which
|
|
is not used until the entire stock runs out.</p>
|
|
<p>First, four cards are dealt face-up, one onto each tableau pile,
|
|
and two more cards are dealt face-down on the reserve to be used
|
|
later. After each deal of six cards, the player pauses to see if
|
|
any cards are playable. Available for play to the foundations
|
|
(which are above the four tableau piles) are the top cards of each
|
|
tableau pile.</p>
|
|
<p>As they become available, one ace and one king of each suit are
|
|
placed in the foundations. The aces are built up to kings while the
|
|
kings are built down to aces, all by suit. Furthermore, once a
|
|
foundation card is set, any can be built upon it at any time.</p>
|
|
<p>Once the player builds the necessary cards one could, another
|
|
set of six is dealt: one on each of the four tableau piles and two
|
|
face-down ones set aside on the reserve. Afterwards, the plays
|
|
builds more cards and the process is repeated until the stock runs
|
|
out. Once this occurs, the entire reserve is turned face-up. All
|
|
cards in that reserve become available to built on the foundations,
|
|
along with the top cards of each reserve pile.</p>
|
|
<p>When play goes on a stand still (when the tableau and the
|
|
reserve no longer yields playable cards), the player is then
|
|
entitled to three redeals. To do a redeal, the player picks up
|
|
first tableau pile and places it over the second pile, picks up
|
|
that newly formed pile and puts in over the third pile, and these
|
|
three piles are then laid over the fourth pile. Then, the piles are
|
|
turned face-down to form the new stock, and the remaining reserve
|
|
piles are placed under it. On the first two redeals, the process of
|
|
dealing one card on each of the four tableau piles and two more on
|
|
the reserve faced down, stopping each time to make any play, and
|
|
using the reserve when the stock runs out is repeated. But on the
|
|
last redeal, there is no more reserve; all cards are dealt four at
|
|
a time, one on each tableau pile.</p>
|
|
<p>The game ends soon after the stock runs out in the last redeal.
|
|
The game is won when all cards end up in the foundations.</p>
|
|
<h3>Parisienne</h3>
|
|
<p>Parisienne (also known as La Parisienne or Parisian) is a
|
|
variant of Grand Duchess. The game is played like Grand Duchess
|
|
except the before the game starts, one ace and one king of each
|
|
suit is removed from the deck and placed on the foundations.</p>
