<h1>Baroness</h1>
|
|
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
|
|
<p>Baroness is a solitaire card game that is played with a deck of
|
|
52 playing cards. Also known as <b>Five Piles</b> and
|
|
<b>Thirteens</b>, it is a game that has an arrangement that is
|
|
almost like that of Aces Up but with the game play of Pyramid.</p>
|
|
<p>Five cards are dealt in a row; they will form the bases of the
|
|
five piles, the top cards of which are available for play.</p>
|
|
<p>In order to win, one has to remove Kings and pairs of cards that
|
|
total 13. In this game, spot cards are taken at face value, Jacks
|
|
value at 11, Queens 12, and Kings 13. So the following combinations
|
|
of cards are discarded:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Queen and Ace</li>
|
|
<li>Jack and 2</li>
|
|
<li>10 and 3</li>
|
|
<li>9 and 4</li>
|
|
<li>8 and 5</li>
|
|
<li>7 and 6</li>
|
|
<li>Kings on their own.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>When gaps occur, they are filled by the top cards of the other
|
|
piles; but when there are not enough cards to do this (less than
|
|
five), cards from the stock are used.</p>
|
|
<p>When gaps are filled and no kings and/or pairs of cards
|
|
totalling 13 are present, five new cards are dealt from the stock,
|
|
one onto each pile. Game play then continues, with the top cards of
|
|
each pile, as mentioned above, are available. This cycle of
|
|
discarding and dealing of new cards goes on until the stock has
|
|
been used up.</p>
|
|
<p>The game is successfully won when all cards have been
|
|
discarded.</p>
