Unreferenced date January 2007 Rules Tree Solitaire is a form of solitaire in which the cards are laid out as follows Row one One card Row two Two cards Row three Three cards Row four Four cards Row five Five cards Row six Six Cards Row seven Seven cards All rows are laid out in a way that they cover half of the cards in the row immediately above, so that the end result resembles a tree , thus the name. During play, a player pulls the top three cards from the deck and flips them face up. If less than three cards are left when the end of the deck is reached, then the difference should be ignored and the cards flipped as usual. If two cards are left, then only those cards are flipped. The player may not wrap around to the front of the deck to get a third card. Only the top card can be played, the cards below can be played if the card s above them are removed. Conditions for winning The object is to remove all cards from the tree by combining two cards to have a total face value of 13. So, if your third row was 9 J K and had no cards on top of it, the king could be removed on its own, the jack would need a two, and the nine would need a 4. Suit is irrelevant, as is color. The player can only go through the deck three times. If the player is unable to eliminate all cards in the tree and has reached the last card in their deck, then they have lost.

Colours is a solitaire card game which is played using a deck of playing card s. Its gameplay puts it on the same family as Sir Tommy , Strategy solitaire Strategy , and Calculation solitaire Calculation . The game is so called because of its emphasis on colour. The cards are shuffled, then dealt out one by one the foundations or onto one of six waste piles, the top cards of which are available for building only on the foundations. A deuce , a trey , a four, and a five are needed to start the foundations. The deuce and the four should be of one colour regardless of suit and the trey and the five be of the other colour. Naturally, the colour of the first foundation card that turns up during dealing dictates the colours of the other cards. The foundations are built up by colour. Dealing of cards from the stock continues until the stock runs out. The game is won when all of the cards are built onto the foundations, which should have an ace, a deuce, a trey, and a four on top.

Its arrangement and game play are almost like another solitaire card game Perseverance solitaire Perseverance . It was released as part of the Microsoft Entertainment Pack for Windows 3.1 in 1990, and can also be downloaded for Windows XP . Play To start the game, the player must first take all the Aces and put them in a row as bases for the foundation solitaire foundations to start the game. The rest of the cards are then put into 12 piles, each with four cards. Only the top or exposed card in each pile is available for play. The cards in the tableau piles are built down by suit, while the foundations are built up by suit up to kings. For example, the 5 can be placed on the 6 if both cards are on the tableaux. Only one card can be moved at a time. When no moves are available, all the remaining piles are put together and then put out in piles of four again. It is important not to shuffle these cards and to place one pile on top of the other face up, starting from the first pile up to the last this is actually the correct order, but some versions of the game use the opposite . The player can do this in an unlimited number of times. The game is won when all the cards are put on the foundations. The game is lost if no more moves are possible even after a shuffle.
