<h1>Tournament</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Tournament is a solitaire card game which uses two decks of
|
|
playing cards shuffled together. Despite the name, the game play
|
|
doesn't seem to be related to the word <i>tournament</i>.</p>
|
|
<p>First, the cards are shuffled and dealt as two columns of four
|
|
cards laid out. The player must make sure that these eight cards
|
|
include either a king, an ace, or both. If neither a king or an ace
|
|
is found among these eight cards, all cards are collected and
|
|
shuffled and two new columns of four cards are dealt. As long there
|
|
is no king or ace among the eight cards, the shuffling and dealing
|
|
continues. When at least a king or an ace are present, six columns
|
|
of four cards are then dealt. At least a king or an ace must be
|
|
present among the first eight cards for the game to work. The first
|
|
eight cards compose the reserve (or "the kibitzers") and the six
|
|
columns of four cards form the tableau (or "the dormitzers").</p>
|
|
<p>The object of the game is to free one king and one ace of each
|
|
suit and built them by suit. The kings should be built down while
|
|
the aces should be built up.</p>
|
|
<p>The top cards of each column on the tableau and all eight cards
|
|
on the reserve are available.</p>
|
|
<p>The cards on the reserve are available to be built on the
|
|
foundations, and any space it leaves behind are filled from any
|
|
from the tableau. But filling spaces doesn't have to be done
|
|
immediately; it is the player's discretion on whether to fill a gap
|
|
or leave it open.</p>
|
|
<p>The cards on the tableau are available only to be built on the
|
|
foundation or placed on a space in the reserve; they are not built
|
|
on each other. In case there is a gap resulting on all cards on the
|
|
column leaving it, it is immediately filled by a new set of four
|
|
cards.</p>
|
|
<p>Furthermore, the top cards of foundations are available to be
|
|
built on each other, handy when the two foundations of the same
|
|
suit meet.</p>
|
|
<p>When the player has made all the moves one could make, four
|
|
cards from the stock are deal onto each column. Then game play
|
|
continues. Dealing of new cards and making of new moves continue
|
|
until all cards have been played.</p>
|
|
<p>After the game play goes on a standstill, the player then
|
|
collects all the cards on the tableau by first gathering the
|
|
rightmost column and placing it on the pile to its left, and then
|
|
placing this new pile to the pile on its left and so on. Then,
|
|
without shuffling, six new columns of four cards each are dealt.
|
|
And game play continues as before. This can be done twice in the
|
|
game.</p>
|
|
<p>The game is won when all cards are dealt onto the
|
|
foundations.</p>
