RULES
PLAY
Having placed the centre ace and the wings, take from the latter any kings for the foundations, or other suitable cards to play on them, or on the centre ace, filling up the spaces so made from the cards in your hand. Then proceed to deal out the remaining cards, turning them one by one, playing all whose value admit of it on the foundations. The cards that cannot be so used are placed aside in one packet, forming the talon.
It is better to play cards from the talon rather than from the wings.
There is no re-deal.
THE SHAH
Two Entire Packs of Cards
RULES
PLAY
Take from the pack the eight aces and the eight kings. Throw aside seven of the kings and place the remaining one in the centre, with the eight aces surrounding it in a circle.
The king is called The Shah, and remains alone. The aces are the foundation cards, and are to ascend in sequence to queens.
Next deal out a circle of eight cards, beginning at the top and continuing from left to right. If any of these are suitable, play them, filling the spaces at once from the cards in your hand. Then deal out a second circle, blocking the first one , and treat it in the same manner, then a third circle, which completes the rays of the star.
You should now examine the star, to see if there are any available cards which it would be advantageous to marry, or to play , but you are not obliged to do either until a favorable opportunity occurs. Marriages can only be made in descending line.
When you have played or married all the cards you wish, the spaces so made must be refilled from the talon or pack, beginning with the inner circles, and proceeding from left to right as before.
The remaining cards are dealt out in the usual way, those not required for the foundations, or for marrying, or for refilling spaces forming the talon.
There is no re-deal.
THE BLOCKADE
Two Entire Packs of Cards
RULES
PLAY
Deal out twelve cards in a horizontal line. Aces may be played as they appear, but no other card can be played until the row is complete. The eight aces are the foundation cards, and are to ascend in sequence to kings.
When the first line is placed, play any suitable cards, and then marry in descending line, but be careful to place the cards exactly over each other, to avoid confusion. The vacancies thus caused must be immediately refilled from the pack, then again play and marry. When neither can be done, deal out another row underneath the first, and, when it is complete, play, marry, and refill spaces as before.
You continue to deal out successive rows until the pack is exhausted, always pausing between each row to play, marry, and refill spaces.
In the course of the game vacancies will often be made in the higher rows. These must always be refilled first.
There is no re-deal.
THE CLOCK
Two Entire Packs of Cards
RULES
PLAY
Withdraw from the pack the twelve cards, as in Tableau No. 1, and place them in their exact order against the hours of the clock represented. These are the foundation cards, and are to ascend in sequence until each packet attains the hour of the clock against which it is placed.
Having placed these twelve foundations, proceed to deal out a circle consisting of twelve packets of three cards dealt together--so spread that each card is visible . From this circle you first play all suitable cards , and then marry in a descending line , and then refill spaces . This last should be done in order, from left to right, beginning at the numeral I, and all the packets refilled before proceeding again to play or to marry.
You are not obliged to play cards which would be more useful if left on the circle.
The cards that cannot be so employed are laid aside in one packet, forming the talon, which can only be used to play on the foundations.
There is no re-deal.
FORTRESS
One Entire Pack of Cards
RULES
PLAY
Deal out the entire pack horizontally in two groups, as in tableau, beginning at the left hand, and dealing straight across each group, leaving space in the centre for four aces. These, when they can be played, form the foundation cards, and are to descend in sequence to kings.
When a lane is to be refilled, select any available card , and place it at the inner end of the lane, and along it any others in sequence of the same suit, the last card being, of course, the available one.
One great use of these lanes is to reverse any sequences that have been made by marriages in the ascending line.
There is no re-deal.
THE FOURTEENTH
Two Entire Packs of Cards
PLAY
Deal out twenty-five cards in five rows, each containing five cards. The object is to compose the number fourteen with any two cards taken either from a perpendicular or from a horizontal row. The knave counts eleven, the queen twelve, and the king thirteen.
The cards so paired are withdrawn, and their places filled by the cards in your hand.
If in the course of the game the number fourteen cannot be composed, one chance remains--any two cards may be taken from their proper position, and may change places with any other two cards; and it is only in making this exchange, so as to produce one or more fourteens, that the player has any control over the success of the game, the success consisting of the entire pack being paired off. In the tableau three fourteens could be at once composed: The ten of hearts with the four of clubs, the knave of spades with the three of hearts, the eight of diamonds with the six of spades.
