<h1>Perseverance</h1>

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

<p>
|
|
Perseverance is a solitaire card game played with a deck of 52 playing cards.
|
|
The reason is not known for the name is not known, but probably, the player
|
|
must play this game with perseverance to succeed.
|
|
<p>
|
|
First, the four aces are taken out of the deck. These form the four
|
|
foundations.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Then the rest are shuffled and dealt into twelve piles of four cards each. One
|
|
can distribute one card at a time for each pile or deal four cards at a time
|
|
to form a pile.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The top cards of each pile are available for play to the foundations or on the
|
|
tableau piles. The foundations are built up by suit, with the cards on the
|
|
tableau are built down, also by suit.
|
|
<p>
|
|
One card can be moved at a time. However, the player is allowed to move a
|
|
sequence of cards as a unit to another pile with an appropriate card (e.g.
|
|
6-5-4-3 of spades can be placed on the 7 of spades).
|
|
<p>
|
|
When all possible moves are made (or the player has done all the possible
|
|
moves one can make), the piles are picked up in reverse order. For example,
|
|
the twelfth pile is placed over the eleventh pile, and this new pile is placed
|
|
on the tenth pile, and so on. Then, without shuffling, the cards are dealt to
|
|
as many piles of four as the remaining decks will allow. To ensure that the
|
|
order of the cards is not disturbed for the most part, it is suggested that
|
|
the cards are dealt four at time. This can be done only twice.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The game is won successfully when all cards are built onto the foundations up
|
|
to Kings.
