<h1>House in the Woods</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>House in the Woods is a solitaire card game with uses two decks
|
|
of 52 playing cards each. The game is basically a two-deck version
|
|
of La Belle Lucie, but it borrows two things from its cousin
|
|
Shamrocks. The object of the game is to place all the cards into
|
|
eight foundations.</p>
|
|
<p>The cards are dealt in sets of three, resulting in 34 piles,
|
|
with two cards left over as a thirty-fifth. The top card of each
|
|
pile is available for play.</p>
|
|
<p>The cards on the tableau are built either up or down by suit;
|
|
the player can have the cards go both directions at the same pile.
|
|
However, an ace cannot be placed on a king and vice versa; an ace
|
|
should be transferred to the foundations. Furthermore, when a pile
|
|
becomes empty, it cannot be filled. All eight foundations are built
|
|
up in suit starting from aces.</p>
|
|
<p>The game is won when all 104 card end up in the foundations.</p>
|
|
<p>As already mentioned, it is basically a two-deck version of La
|
|
Belle Lucie. But the two things that make this game also similar to
|
|
Shamrocks is the building the cards up or down and the fact that
|
|
there are no redeals.</p>
|
|
<h3>House on the Hill</h3>
|
|
<p>House on the Hill is another solitaire card game using two
|
|
decks. It is played with the same rules as those of House in the
|
|
Woods except that while the aces, one of each suit, must occupy
|
|
four of the eight foundations, the kings, also one of each suit,
|
|
must occupy the other four. The aces are built up by suit up to
|
|
kings, the kings are built down by suit to aces.</p>
