OVER-UNDER SOLITAIRE
The object of the game is to selectively remove cards from the tableau,
placing them on the Discard Pile, thus reducing the number of cards in the
tableau to a minimum (ideally zero).
Only the bottom cards from each of the seven columns are available for play.
In order for one of these cards to be used, its value (rank) must be one
higher or one lower than that on the Discard Pile (ACE is low, KING is high).
For example, a SIX on the Discard Pile can have either a FIVE or SEVEN played
on top of it; a JACK can be topped with a QUEEN or TEN, and an ACE can only be
topped with a DEUCE (TWO). The only exception to this rule is when a KING is
present on the Discard Pile. At this point the sequence ends. In other words a
KING can be played on a QUEEN, but a QUEEN may not be played on a KING.
Other than this, the sequence can continue up and down, indefinitely, until no
more cards are eligible for play. When this occurs, the top card of the
remaining cards (in the card deck) is turned up as necessary. The game ends
when either no more play can take place or the tableau has been completely
removed to the Discard Pile.
It is not mandatory that every qualifying card from the tableau be used before
turning up the next card from the deck. In some cases, it may be good strategy
to "hold off" on playing a certain card until later. Experience will be the
best teacher when it comes to this matter.
Scoring is based on the card value being moved from the tableau to the Discard
Pile. Card values are the same as face values except: ACE=1, TEN=10, JACK=11,
QUEEN=12, KING=13. If all cards are removed from the tableau, you will earn a
BONUS of 5000 points.
