<h1>Sly Fox</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Sly Fox is a solitaire card game played with two decks of 52
|
|
playing cards each. It is probably named because the player has to
|
|
be "sly as fox," so to speak, to win, if played correctly.</p>
|
|
<p>First, one king and one ace of each suit are removed. The aces
|
|
are placed vertically on one side of the tableau, the kings are
|
|
placed on the other side. These form the foundations.</p>
|
|
<p>The rest of the cards are shuffled and twenty cards are placed
|
|
between the ace-foundations and the king foundations. These 20
|
|
cards form the reserve and are available to play only onto the
|
|
foundations. The aces are built up, while the kings are built down,
|
|
all by suit.</p>
|
|
<p>Gameplay is divided into three phases.</p>
|
|
<p>The first phase involves moving the cards from the reserve to
|
|
the foundations for building only. When a card leaves the
|
|
foundation, the gap it leaves behind is immediately filled with a
|
|
new card from the stock. When all possible moves are made, or when
|
|
the player had done all the moves he can make, play moves to the
|
|
second phase.</p>
|
|
<p>The second phase of gameplay involves dealing 20 cards from the
|
|
stock, one at a time, to any of the 20 piles (the cards already
|
|
there serve as bases) on the reserve. It does not matter where each
|
|
card ends up; a pile can contain more than two cards while a pile
|
|
would end up with just one card. In this phase, no building is
|
|
allowed until all twenty cards are deal. Once the twenty cards are
|
|
dealt, gameplay moves to the third phase.</p>
|
|
<p>The third phase is similar to the first phase, moving cards from
|
|
the reserve to the foundations. The top cards of each reserve pile
|
|
are available for play. This time though, when gaps occur, they are
|
|
not immediately filled. Furthermore, the cards on the reserve are
|
|
not built on each other; they can only be transferred to the
|
|
foundations, and cards on the foundations cannot be moved once
|
|
built. When all possible moves have been made, or when the player
|
|
has made all moves one can make, gameplay moves back to the second
|
|
phase.</p>
|
|
<p>During this deal of 20 new cards, the player has the discretion
|
|
of filling the gaps left behind during the third phase. When all
|
|
twenty cards are dealt, gameplay shifts to the third phase. The
|
|
second and third phases are repeated until the stock has been used
|
|
up.</p>
|
|
<p>The game is won when all cards end up in the foundations. As
|
|
mentioned earlier, if done correctly, it can be won; but chances of
|
|
doing this are low.</p>
