<h1>Patriarchs</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Patriarchs is a solitaire card game which is played with two
|
|
decks of playing cards. It is similar in reserve layout to <a href=
|
|
"oddandeven.html">Odd and Even</a> but with different game
|
|
play.</p>
|
|
<p>First, one king and one ace are removed from the deck and placed
|
|
in two columns: one with all aces and the other with all kings. In
|
|
between these two columns is a space for the reserve, which is
|
|
composed of nine cards arranged in three rows of three cards
|
|
each.</p>
|
|
<p>Ace and King columns are the foundations. The ace foundations
|
|
are built up to Kings while the king foundations are built down to
|
|
aces, all by suit. When the top cards of the ace and king
|
|
foundations of the same suit are in sequence, a reversal can be
|
|
done, i.e. cards can be moved one at a time from one foundation to
|
|
the other, except the base aces and kings.</p>
|
|
<p>The nine reserve cards are available for play on the foundations
|
|
(not on each other). When a card leaves the reserve, the space it
|
|
leaves behind is filled with the top card of the waste pile (or the
|
|
stock if there is no waste pile yet).</p>
|
|
<p>If play comes to a standstill in the reserve, the stock is dealt
|
|
one card at a time, and if a card is unplayable, it is placed on
|
|
the waste pile, the top card of which is available for building on
|
|
the foundations or filling a space on the reserve. Only one redeal
|
|
is allowed; to do this the unused cards in the waste pile is picked
|
|
up and turned face down to be used as the new stock.</p>
|
|
<p>The game is won when all cards end up in the foundations.</p>
|
|
<h3>Picture Patience</h3>
|
|
<p>Picture Patience is a solitaire game which is played exactly
|
|
like Patriarchs except for the following:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>At the onset, no card is placed in the foundations; aces and
|
|
kings needed are mixed in the deck.</li>
|
|
<li>Reversals are not allowed.</li>
|
|
<li>SolSuite's version of the game allows one redeal while Pretty
|
|
Good Solitaire's version doesn't allow any redeal.</li>
|
|
</ul>
