<h1>Rouge et Noir</h1>
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
<p>Rouge et Noir (i. e. red and black) is a solitaire card game
which is played using two decks of playing cards. Invented by
Charles Jewell, it is one unique game where two types of building
are done in the same game. It should not be confused with the
similarly named Red and Black, although the latter can also be
known under this name.</p>
<p>In this game, there are ten columns. The first column contains
eight cards, the second column contains seven cards, the third
contains six and so on until the eighth and ninth columns each
contain one card. The ten column is left empty at the start of the
game. All cards in each column except for the top card are faced
down.</p>
<p>The object of the game is to release two red aces and two black
aces (regardless of suit) to become foundations and built each of
them up by color to kings, while at the same time built four
columns of cards in the tableau, each starting with a King and
built down by alternating color.</p>
<p>All exposed cards are available for play to be built either on
the foundations or in the tableau. Building in the tableau is down
by alternating color. Sequences can be moved in part or in whole
and any empty column can be filled only by a King or a sequence
that begins with a King.</p>
<p>When there are no more moves to be played, one card is placed
onto each column from the stock; afterwards, play proceeds as
normal. This cycle continues until the entire stock has run
out.</p>
<p>When a sequence that starts with a King, ends with an Ace, and
is built down in alternating colors is formed, it may be discarded
at the player's discretion.</p>
<p>The game ends when soon after the stock has run out. The game is
won when 52 cards are built onto the four foundations while four
King sequences are discarded.</p>
<p>In winning such a game, the player must decide which cards
should be built one at a time into the four foundations and which
must be built into King-foundations which should be discarded
later. As a suggestion, the player should do neither to help
cleaning up a column later. It also helps when the player should
not touch a completed column of thirteen cards to aid in splitting
and reach the faced down cards. It is also good to focus on
releasing the face down cards on the leftmost columns, especially
the first three ones.</p>
