<h1>Napoleon's Square</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Napoleon's Square is a solitaire card game which uses two decks
|
|
of playing cards. First described by Lady Adelaide Cadogan in the
|
|
early 1900s, it is an easy variation of Forty Thieves. It is not
|
|
determined if Napoleon actually played this game, or any solitaire
|
|
game named after him.</p>
|
|
<p>First, forty-eight cards are dealt into twelve piles of four
|
|
cards each, forming three sides of a square. The rest of the deck
|
|
consist the stock. Fourth "side" of the square is left to be
|
|
occupied by the foundations.</p>
|
|
<p>The object of this game is to place the Aces as they become
|
|
available and build each of them up to kings.</p>
|
|
<p>The top card of each pile is available for play, to be built on
|
|
the foundations or on another pile. Cards on the tableau are built
|
|
down in suit and sequences can be moved as a unit. (Solsuite's
|
|
version of the game, however, does not allow moving sequences as a
|
|
unit) Spaces, whenever they occur, can be filled with any available
|
|
card or sequence.</p>
|
|
<p>When there are no more plays on the tableau that can be made,
|
|
the stock is dealt one at a time, and any card that cannot be built
|
|
on the foundations or on the tableau can be placed on a waste pile,
|
|
the top card of which is available for play. The stock can only be
|
|
dealt once.</p>
|
|
<p>The game ends soon after the stock has run out. The game is won
|
|
(which is very likely) when all cards are built onto the
|
|
foundations.</p>
