- You're never bored if you have a pack of cards and a flat surface. This is just one of so many games/things you can do when no one's available to join in a gam,e.
WHAT YOU NEED:
A full pack of 52 cards (without the jokers, blank cards or information cards)
A flat surface (table or floor)
WHAT YOU DO:
Shuffle the cards well then gather them together in pile and lay them out in rows. The first row starts with the card from the top of the pile and is followed by 6 cards face down.
The next row starts on the second column. Place a card facing up then the rest of the row is made up of cards facing down, The third row starts with a card facing up, on the third column and then four cards facing down, and so on. Repeat across all the columns of cards until the 7th row is one single card facing up in the 7th column which has 6 cards facing down, above it.
Hold the remaining cards, in a pile, in your hand.
TO PLAY
The idea of the game is to create four foundation piles, above the rows and columns, starting with the Ace of each suit and finishing with the King of each suit.
The cards can be moved within the rows, in order of descending (lower) value of the number - the King of each suit having the highest value, ie King, Queen, Jack, 10,9,8,7...
You may only place cards of a different colour on a card of a higher value ie you can only put a red Queen on a black King, and so on.
A King is the only card that can be moved into an empty column, once all the other cards have been moved.
If you can't move any of the cards in the layout, or once any moves have been made, turn over the top three cards in your hand and create a discard pile. If the card on top of the discard pile can be moved (an Ace goes to create a foundation pile above the layout or a card of a lower value to a column with a card of the next higher value; in a different colour) do so. Once any moves have been made turn over the next three cards.
Remember to check across the layout each time a move is made, as it may open up other options across the layout.
THE GAME FINISHES
When all the cards are in the correct order (Ace to King) in their correct suit (Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, Clubs) in the foundation packs at the top of the latyout.
Or
You are unable to move any of the cards in the layout, or the pile in your hand.
When either happens, reshuffle the cards and start again!
Used to play this game all the time years ago but forgot. Needed a refresher! Great video! Thanks😊
Glad I could help! Enjoy the game.
Finally a game a can play with my friends
Great sense of humour!
As a beginner your video is easy to follow. Looking forward to many games of patience. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful, Sheila! Enjoy!
I just got interested in this game. Was so confused at first. I think I got some idea. Thanks so much for explaining so well!
I'm glad it was helpful. Hope you're enjoying the game!
@@TreehutTV yes, I am enjoying the game, thank you 🙏🏼
i could not imagine that one day i will like this game, 😂thanks a lot, your explanation is amazing ❤
I'm so glad it was helpful! It's a great game to play when you have some quiet time
❤
Thanks, this helped me in my learning,good to have the Kiwi Accent too🤓
So glad it was helpful xox
Super. That was very pleasing Suzy. You’ve helped me through this morning. What language are you counting in BTW? Is that Maori?
One more question Suzy. Is there a reason why you draw 3 cards from the stock pile and not just one at a time? Does this make it more difficult to find the right cards?
Te reo Maori xox
That's a really good question. There are so many ways to play a game. This was the way I was taught, and yes it can make it much harder. So that's a great way to learn resilience xox
Lovely Suzy best wishes kia ora x
Can you remind me whilst you turn 3 cards over when you don't have anything to move? For some reason I can't remember this, I thought you just turn one card from the pile?
What happens if you get deadlock Suzy? Because me and my Grandaugter were playing and we could not move anymore.
That's a good question. There are several ways to deal with a deadlock.
1 Call it the end of the game. Shuffle the cards well and start again.
2 Some people think this is cheating, but I know folk who take the top card from the pile in their hand, when they're in deadlock, and go through that pile again. It's a slight shuffle and can help you move a few more cards.
3 I've even seen folk shuffled the entire pile in their hands to see if they can move a few more cards!
Really it's up to you.
I hope you and your granddaughter have fun playing xox
Thank 🙏💕
You are so welcome! xox
Thankyou
You’re welcome 😊 Have fun!
Ok! But how we can play this togheter? 2 or 4 people?
I've never heard of more than one person playing it. The way I play each person would need their own pack and play their own game... or one could watch over the other's shoulder and point out moves to make.
I just wanted to know how to set it up i already knew how to play it cuz of pc solitaire but dam, SUzy's voice is so... nice to listen too, reminds me of one my teachers haha
Wonderful! I'm so glad it was helpful and easy to listen to xox
