<h1>King Albert</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>King Albert is a solitaire card game using a deck of 52 playing
|
|
cards. It is said to be named after King Albert of Belgium the
|
|
first. It is also the best known of the three games that are each
|
|
called Idiot's Delight because of the low chance of winning the
|
|
game (the other two are Aces Up and Perpetual Motion).</p>
|
|
<p>The aim of the game, like many solitaire games, is to release
|
|
the aces to the foundations and built each of them up by suit to
|
|
Kings.</p>
|
|
<p>First, the cards are deal into nine columns in such a way that
|
|
the first column contains nine cards, the second having eight
|
|
cards, the third seven, and so on until the ninth column having a
|
|
single card. The seven left over cards form the reserve, sometimes
|
|
known as "the Belgian Reserve."</p>
|
|
<p>Building on the tableau is down by alternating colors and only
|
|
one card can be moved at a time. Only the top card of each column
|
|
and all cards in the reserve are available for play. Furthermore,
|
|
an empty column can be filled with any available card.</p>
|
|
<p>Once an ace is released, it can be built upon immediately.</p>
|
|
<p>The game is won when all cards end up in the foundations. But
|
|
achieveing this is difficult as one in only ten games can be won,
|
|
hence the alternate name of <i>Idiot's Delight</i>.</p>
