<h1>Parallels</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Parallels is a solitaire card game which is played with two
|
|
decks of playing cards. It is so called because the cards are lined
|
|
up in rows parallel to each other, so to speak.</p>
|
|
<p>First, one king and one ace of each suit is removed and the aces
|
|
and kings are each lined into columns to form the foundations. The
|
|
aces are built up while the kings are built down all by suit.</p>
|
|
<p>Between the two foundation columns, the player deals a row of
|
|
ten cards, forming the tableau. All of these cards are available
|
|
for play on the foundations and the spaces they leave behind are
|
|
immediately filled from the stock.</p>
|
|
<p>When play comes to a stand still, a second row of ten cards is
|
|
dealt below the first row. All cards are still available for play
|
|
and the spaces left behind are immediately filled from the
|
|
stock.</p>
|
|
<p>When play comes to a stand still a second time, a third row of
|
|
ten cards is dealt. At this point onwards, the following rules
|
|
apply:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A card is available to be built to the foundations if at least
|
|
one of its narrower edges is free. Therefore, the cards at the top
|
|
and bottom rows are available for play and card in the middle rows
|
|
becomes available after a card immediately above or below it is
|
|
played.</li>
|
|
<li>There is no compulsion in filling spaces in the tableau. As
|
|
long as there are moves available for player to make, spaces can be
|
|
filled later.</li>
|
|
<li>All spaces in the tableau must be filled when play goes on a
|
|
standstill. The order is from left to right, top to bottom. There
|
|
is no building at this point.</li>
|
|
<li>Only when the existing spaces in the tableau are filled is the
|
|
time another row of ten card is dealt at the bottom of the existing
|
|
rows.</li>
|
|
<li>Peeking on the next card in the stock is absolutely not
|
|
allowed; doing so will force that card dealt to the tableau.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Also, reversals are allowed in the game, i.e. when the two
|
|
foundations of the same suit meet at one point, the player can move
|
|
the cards from one foundation to the other except the base cards
|
|
(ace and king) of the foundations.</p>
|
|
<p>The game ends when play stops after the stock has run out. The
|
|
game is won when all cards are built into the foundations.</p>
