<h1>Shamrocks</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Shamrocks is a solitaire game akin to <a href=
|
|
"labellelucie.html">La Belle Lucie</a>. The object is the same as
|
|
the latter: move the cards into the foundations.</p>
|
|
<p>The game is layout out as in La Belle Lucie: seventeen piles of
|
|
three cards are placed on the tableau with one card counting as an
|
|
eighteenth. Any card that can be moved to the foundations should be
|
|
moved and built up by suit (starting from the ace). The top card of
|
|
each pile can be used for play and once a pile is empty, it cannot
|
|
be refilled.</p>
|
|
<p>But its similarity to La Belle Lucie ends there. Before the game
|
|
begins, each King which is on top or middle of its respective pile
|
|
is placed underneath. (Morehead and Mott-Smith's rules to the game
|
|
specifically states that a King that is on top of a lower-ranked
|
|
card of the same suit should be placed under that lower-ranked
|
|
card, no matter what else in its pile.) To play on the tableau, a
|
|
card can be placed over a card that is one rank higher or lower,
|
|
regardless of suit (a <b>6</b><img src="../images/s.gif" /> can be
|
|
placed on a <b>7</b><img src="../images/c.gif" /> or a
|
|
<b>5</b><img src="../images/d.gif" />). However, each pile can hold
|
|
no more than three cards at a time; thus no card can be placed on a
|
|
pile with three cards.</p>
|
|
<p>The game is won when all of the cards have been moved to the
|
|
foundations.</p>
