<h1>Accordion</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Accordion is a solitaire game using one deck of playing cards.
|
|
The object is to compress the entire deck into one pile like an
|
|
accordion.</p>
|
|
<p>There are two variants of the game in terms of how the game
|
|
begins.</p>
|
|
<p>In one variant, the cards are laid out one by one and are
|
|
immediately put into play if possible. The number of cards to be
|
|
laid out range from just one card to how many cards the width of
|
|
the table can allow (usually a second or third row is constructed
|
|
in the process). While practical, it also allows an element of
|
|
surprise as the player does not know the next card to be dealt
|
|
until all possible plays are exhausted.</p>
|
|
<p>In another variant, the cards are spread out in one line. While
|
|
this variant allows for some tactics to be applied, it can prove to
|
|
be cumbersome when played with a real deck. This variant of the
|
|
game is implemented in BVS Solitaire Collection and Patience
|
|
Pack.</p>
|
|
<p>No matter the layout variant, the game is the same. A pile can
|
|
be moved on top of another pile immediately to its left or
|
|
separated to its left by two piles if the top cards of each pile
|
|
have the same suit or rank. Gaps left behind are filled by moving
|
|
piles to the left.</p>
|
|
<p>Here's an example: <b>5</b><img src="../images/s.gif" />
|
|
<b>6</b><img src="../images/s.gif" /> <b>10</b><img src=
|
|
"../images/d.gif" /> <b>5</b><img src="../images/h.gif" />
|
|
<b>K</b><img src="../images/c.gif" /></p>
|
|
<p>According to this example, either <b>6</b><img src=
|
|
"../images/s.gif" /> or <b>5</b><img src="../images/h.gif" /> can
|
|
be placed over <b>5</b><img src="../images/s.gif" />. These are the
|
|
only allowable moves.</p>
|
|
<p>The game is won when all cards are compressed into one pile. But
|
|
since achieving this is next to impossible under these rigid rules,
|
|
Alfred Sheinwold mentions in his book <i>101 Best Family Card
|
|
Games</i> (ISBN 0806986352) that it is considered a win when there
|
|
are five piles or less at the end of the game.</p>
