Pyramid is a solitaire/ patience game where the object is to get all the cards from the pyramid to the foundation.

Pairs of cards can be removed if their values total 13. In this game, Jacks value at 11, Queens at 12, and Kings at 13. Thus, kings can be removed immediately. Cards must not be covered. Thus when an Ace rests on a Queen, that Queen can not be removed. When going through the stock, the cards are drawn one at a time with no re-deal. To win, get all the cards from the pyramid to the foundation.

To be considered won, all cards (cards from the pyramid and cards from the stock) must be moved to the foundation; the game cannot be won if at least two cards cannot be moved from the stock

Genre: Solitaire/ Patience
Time to Play: 1 hour
Difficulty: hard

Yukon Solitaire

December 7th 2011 01:29

Yukon Solitaire consists of seven card stacks made from one to seven cards, with only the top card turned face up. Instead of placing the remaining 24 cards in a stack which is cycled through, four cards are placed face up on each stack except the leftmost. The objective is to put the entire deck in suit stacks of ascending rank, making stacks of descending rank with alternating colors as an intermediate stage. Any face up card can be placed on a card at the top of a stack which has a different color and a rank one greater than it. If the moved card is not the top card in its stack, all cards above it will be moved along with it.

The seven building stacks are in the middle of the screen, with two suit stacks on each side. If all the face up cards of a stack are removed, the topmost face down card will be turned over.

Shamrocks Soliatire

December 5th 2011 01:16

Shamrocks is a solitaire or patience game akin to La Belle Lucie. The object is the same as the latter: move the cards into the foundations.

The game is layout out as in La Belle Lucie: seventeen piles of three cards are placed on the table with one card counting as an eighteenth. Any card that can be moved to the foundations should be moved and built up by suit (starting from the ace). The top card of each pile can be used for play and once a pile is empty, it cannot be refilled.
But its similarity to La Belle Lucie ends there. Before the game begins, each King which is on top or middle of its respective pile is placed underneath. (Morehead and Mott-Smith's rules to the game specifically states that a King that is on top of a lower-ranked card of the same suit should be placed under that lower-ranked card, no matter what else in its pile.) To play on the tableau, a card can be placed over a card that is one rank higher or lower, regardless of suit. However, each pile can hold no more than three cards at a time; thus no card can be placed on a pile with three cards.
The game is won when all of the cards have been moved to the foundations.

Genre: Patience/ Solitaire
Time to Play: 1 hour
Difficulty: hard

Skip-Bo

November 14th 2011 01:58

SKIP-BO is a commercial version of the card game Spite and Malice. In 1967, Ms. Hazel Bowman of Brownfield, Texas began producing a boxed edition of the game under the name Skip-bo. In 1980 the game was purchased by International Games, which was subsequently bought by Mattel in 1992.

The deck consists of 162 cards, twelve each of the numbers 1 through 12 and eighteen "SKIP-BO" wild cards which may be played as any number. Alternatively, the 162 cards could be three regular decks of playing cards, including the jokers, with ace to queen corresponding to 1 to 12 and the kings and jokers corresponding to the SKIP-BO cards. Before 1980, the commercial game consisted of three decks of regular playing cards with six SKIP-BO cards replacing the standard two jokers in each deck.

Two to six people can play at a time as individuals or 6 players in partnerships (no more than 3 partnerships). The object of the game is to be the first player or partnership to play out their entire stock pile(s). Each player is dealt 30 cards for their stock pile. With only the uppermost card visible, and a hand of 5 cards, and the remaining cards are placed face down to create a common draw pile. The shared play area allows up to 4 build piles, which must be started using either a "1" card or a Skip-Bo, and each player also has up to 4 personal discard piles. Each turn the active player draws until he has 5 cards in hand, and plays on the build piles. He must play either the next card in sequential order or a wild Skip-Bo card, using either cards in hand, the top card of his stock pile, or the top card of any of his 4 discard piles. If the player can play all 5 cards from hand, he draws 5 more and continues playing. When no more plays are available, the player discards one card to either an empty discard pile or on top of an existing one and play passes to the next player. If the next player needs a card out the discard pile that the other player has laid down he may get the card to help him continue playing. When a build pile reaches 12, it is removed from the board and that space becomes empty for another pile to be started; play continues until one player has played his final start card.

You can now play Skip-Bo online for free. Click here to play!

Shape Solitaire

November 22nd 2010 03:25

It’s like a jigsaw puzzle made of cards!
Link the cards together by matching them with cards of higher or lower rank, and fill in the shapes on the screen. But beware: you only have two decks of cards for each puzzle, and you can’t just reshuffle while nobody’s looking…

Canasta

July 12th 2010 02:26

Canasta (Spanish for "basket") is a card game originating in Uruguay but popularized in Argentina (hence the alternate name Argentine Rummy), in which players attempt to make melds of 7 cards of the same rank, and "go out" by playing all cards in their hand and discarding. It is a variant of Rummy and 500 Rum. It is commonly played by four players in two partnerships with two standard decks of cards, but many variations exist for 2-3 and 6-player games or teams.

The game is for two to six players, either each player for themselves or in teams of two (only for four or six player games). If partners are chosen they must sit opposite each other. Canasta uses two complete decks of 52 playing cards (French Deck) plus the four Jokers. All the Jokers and deuces (twos) are wild cards

Whist

July 9th 2010 01:57

Whist is a classic English trick-taking card game which was played widely in the 18th and 19th centuries. It derives from the 16th century game of Trump or Ruff. Although the rules are extremely simple, there is enormous scope for scientific play.

A standard 52 card pack is used. The cards in each suit rank from highest to lowest: A K Q J 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2. Whist is played by four players, who play in two partnerships with the partners sitting opposite each other. Players cut or draw cards to determine partners with the two highest playing against the lowest two, who have seating rights. The players then cut for deal. It is strictly against the rules to comment on the cards in any way. One may not comment upon the hand one was dealt nor about one's good fortune or bad fortune. One may not signal to one's partner
