<h1>Salic Law</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Salic Law is a solitaire card game using two decks of 52 playing
|
|
cards each. It is named after the Salic Law which prohibits women
|
|
from ascending to the throne or obtaining inheritance.</p>
|
|
<p>First, the Queens are taken out of the stock. Then a King is
|
|
placed on the tableau. The rest on the cards are shuffled and dealt
|
|
on the King to form a column. The player deals as many cards over
|
|
the King until another King appears, starting a new column. This is
|
|
done until all eight Kings are laid out cards have been dealt,
|
|
resulting in eight columns of various lengths.</p>
|
|
<p>During dealing, whenever an Ace appears, it is put onto the
|
|
foundations. In fact, once aces are in the foundations over the
|
|
kings, they can be built up to Jacks regardless of suit, even while
|
|
dealing is in progress as long as the top cards of the columns
|
|
already dealt are available for play, as well as any applicable
|
|
card that appears during dealing.</p>
|
|
<p>Once all cards have been dealt, building to the foundations
|
|
continue. Cards on the tableau cannot be built on each other.
|
|
However, a column containing just a King is considered vacant and
|
|
any card can be placed there. One card can be moved at a time and
|
|
as mentioned earlier, the top card of each column is available for
|
|
play.</p>
|
|
<p>The game is won when all cards available are placed on the
|
|
foundations with the Jacks on the top of the foundations and the
|
|
Kings exposed.</p>
|
|
<p>Sometimes, players still give the Queens a decorative role by
|
|
putting them between the foundations and the King columns or
|
|
shuffling them with the rest of the deck and putting them between
|
|
the foundations and the columns later.</p>
