<h1>Bisley</h1>
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
<p>Bisley is a solitaire card game which uses a deck of 52 playing
cards. It is one of the few one-deck games in which the player has
options on which foundation a card can be placed.</p>
<p>First the four aces are taken out and laid on the tableau to
start the foundations. Then four columns of three cards are placed
overlapping each other separately under the aces. After that, nine
columns of four cards, also overlapping each other, are dealt to
the right of the aces and first four columns. If the player decides
to lay out all of the cards, he must make sure that there are four
rows of thirteen cards and the first four cards on the first row
should be the four aces.</p>
<p>Here is the method of game play:</p>
<ul>
<li>Only the bottom cards are available for play. Thus, if the
cards are overlapping, it is the exposed card of each column; if
the cards are laid out, it is the card at the bottom each
column.</li>
<li>Only one card can be moved at a time.</li>
<li>The cards on the tableau can be built either up or down by
suit.</li>
<li>Whenever a column becomes empty, it stays empty for the rest of
the game.</li>
<li>The foundations (the four aces) are built up by suit. However,
whenever a King is released and becomes available, it becomes a
foundation and is placed above its counterpart ace foundation to be
built down, also by suit. The same thing can be done for the three
other kings. This rule also gives the player an opportunity to
place a card on one of the foundations of the same suit if it can
be placed on either of them.</li>
</ul>
<p>The game is won when all cards end up in the foundations. It
actually does not matter where the ace and king foundations of each
suit would meet and how many cards the ace and king foundations of
each suit will have. At the end of one game for example, the
<b>K</b><img src="../images/s.gif" /> is the only one on its
foundation while the rest of spade cards are built on the
<b>A</b><img src="../images/s.gif" />; the <b>A</b><img src=
"../images/c.gif" /> remains unbuilt because all club cards are
built on the <b>K</b><img src="../images/c.gif" />; the
<b>A</b><img src="../images/h.gif" /> is built up to
<b>4</b><img src="../images/h.gif" /> while the <b>K</b><img src=
"../images/h.gif" /> is built down to <b>5</b><img src=
"../images/h.gif" />; and the <b>A</b><img src="../images/d.gif" />
is built up to <b>8</b><img src="../images/d.gif" /> while the
<b>K</b><img src="../images/d.gif" /> is built down to
<b>9</b><img src="../images/d.gif" />. In fact, the ace and king
foundation of a suit can meet anywhere.</p>
