<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>
|
|
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>
|
|
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>
|
|
The game is won when all of the cards have been moved to the foundations.
