<h1>Mount Olympus</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Mount Olympus is a solitaire card game using two decks of 52
|
|
playing cards each. It is probably named because of the tableau's
|
|
mountain shape and shows all the Kings and Queens in the end, if
|
|
won successfully, like the Greek gods and goddesses who are said to
|
|
be residing on the mountain with the same name.</p>
|
|
<p>First, all aces and deuces, or twos (16 cards in all), are
|
|
removed from the two decks. Then the remaining 88 cards are
|
|
shuffled and nine of them are laid out on the tableau in an
|
|
inverted "V" formation. Although this is one of the two bases
|
|
mentioned above that gives the game its name, the player can opt to
|
|
just lay the nine cards in a straight line. These nine cards start
|
|
each of the nine piles in the tableau.</p>
|
|
<p>Building on the 16 foundations is up by suit in intervals of
|
|
two. Therefore, building should be like this:<br />
|
|
On the aces: 3-5-7-9-J-K<br />
|
|
On the deuces: 4-6-8-10-Q</p>
|
|
<p>Building on the tableau is down, also by suit in intervals of
|
|
two (i.e. the <b>5</b><img src="../images/s.gif" /> must be placed
|
|
over the <b>7</b><img src="../images/s.gif" />). A card can be
|
|
placed over an applicable card and any gap must be filled
|
|
immediately with a card from the stock. A sequence of cards (such
|
|
as <b>6-8-10</b><img src="../images/c.gif" />) can be moved as one
|
|
unit. Any card can be placed on the foundation at any appropriate
|
|
time.</p>
|
|
<p>Once all possible moves have been made or the player has done
|
|
all moves he wanted to make, a new set of nine cards are dealt, one
|
|
for each pile. Moving, filling gaps with new cards, and dealing a
|
|
new set of nine cards continue until the stock has been used up.
|
|
After this has happened, building continues, but spaces left behind
|
|
are not filled.</p>
|
|
<p>The game is successfully won when all cards are built with the
|
|
Kings and Queens at front.</p>
