<h1>Amazons</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Amazons is a solitaire card game which is played with a deck of
|
|
playing cards. What is interesting about this game is that it is
|
|
played with a stripped deck, i.e. one that has its deuces, treys,
|
|
fours, fives, and sixes removed. This game is so named because if
|
|
the game is won, all queens are shown on full view, so all kings
|
|
are removed as well.</p>
|
|
<p>First, four cards are dealt. They would be the reserve. Above it
|
|
is a space for the foundations. Once an ace is available, it is
|
|
placed on the foundations and each ace should be placed in order on
|
|
which they become available.</p>
|
|
<p>The first four cards dealt are the bases of the reserve piles,
|
|
the top card of each being available only to the foundation
|
|
immediately above it. The exception to this rule is a queen can be
|
|
moved to its foundation from any pile. The order of placing is
|
|
<b>A-7-8-9-10-J-Q</b>.</p>
|
|
<p>When play goes on a standstill, four more cards are then dealt,
|
|
one on each reserve pile, and stop to see if any of the cards dealt
|
|
can be placed on the foundations. Spaces are not filled until the
|
|
next deal. This process is repeated until the stock runs out. When
|
|
it does, a new stock is formed by placing each pile over its
|
|
right-hand neighbor, turn them face down and deal; this should be
|
|
done without reshuffling. The process of dealing the cards,
|
|
building to the foundations, and redealing, is repeated without
|
|
limits until the game is won or lost.</p>
|
|
<p>The game is won when all cards are built onto the foundations,
|
|
with the queens at the top.</p>
