Solitaire Rules
-
A card's value is the same as its
rank with the exception of the 10, J, Q and K whose values are zero. If the
sum of the first two cards is higher than 9 you must subtract 10. For example:
6+8 = 14. Your score = 4.
-
Click on the stock (52 cards) to deal the first 2 cards.
-
If the sum of the values of the
cards is 9, click on the
waste. The cards
will transfer to the
waste and their
values will be totaled.
-
If the sum of the values of the
cards is low (for example: 9+2 = 1, value = 1), you can choose
risking the deal of another card or stopping.
-
If you choose risking the deal of
another card, click on the
stock. If the sum
of the values of the three cards is 10, your score is 0. If it
is higher than 10, subtract 10 and the resulting total is your
score. If it is 9 or lower, that is your score. Continue in this
manner until the
stock is
exhausted.
-
You win if you score 65
points or more (theoretically the highest score obtainable is
180 points).
