<h1>Intelligence</h1>

<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|

<p>
|
|
Intelligence is a solitaire card game which uses two decks of playing cards
|
|
mixed together. It is basically a two-deck version of another solitaire game
|
|
La Belle Lucie and its game play is somewhat closer to the parent game than
|
|
its cousins House in the Wood and House on the Hill.
|
|
<p>
|
|
First, 18 piles (or fans) of three cards are dealt. During this deal any ace
|
|
encountered regardless of where it would end up in the pile will be moved to a
|
|
foundation and be replaced with another card. As they become available, the
|
|
other aces are placed on the foundations, which are all built up by suit.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The top cards of the piles are available to be built on the foundations or on
|
|
each other's piles on the tableau. When building on the tableau, the cards are
|
|
built either up or down by suit. Aces cannot be placed over kings, however,
|
|
and vice versa.
|
|
<p>
|
|
When a gap occurs, it is immediately filled by three new cards from the stock.
|
|
This is the only way cards from the stock are introduced from the game and the
|
|
only way spaces are refilled. As in the original deal, any ace that comes up
|
|
is immediately placed on the foundations.
|
|
<p>
|
|
When all moves have been made and become stuck, even if there are still cards
|
|
in the stock, the stock and all the cards in the tableau are gathered,
|
|
reshuffled, and 18 piles of three cards each are redealt, or as many piles of
|
|
three cards as the remaining ones can allow. This can be done twice and during
|
|
both redeals as in the original deal, any aces the player encounters are
|
|
immediately placed onto the foundations.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game is won when all cards end up in the foundations.
|

|
Sloane Lee and Gabriel Packard's version of the game (in the book <i>100 Best
|
|
Solitaire Games</i>) slightly increased the number of tableau piles to 19
|
|
because they think this improves the game.
