Style of play

Like most solitaire games, Eight Cards is a deck of cards for one person. The playing cards, a simple rummy sheet of 52 cards, are shuffled and placed face down as a stack ( talon ) in front of the player. The card values correspond to the number of the numbers playing cards, the ace to the one and to the picture values ​​( jack , queen and king ) each 11. The top eight cards are picked up and placed face up in the form of a rectangle:

Regardless of the color of the card, pairs of 11 points each are taken from the display and set aside. In addition, individual image values ​​that alone have the value 11 are also taken. Any gaps that have arisen are filled with new cards from the talon. Twice within the game the player can reveal a ninth card as an auxiliary card.

If, despite the help card, no more pairs can be formed, the solitaire has not come up and the game is lost. If the talon can be played through, the player wins.

The game is similar to Solitaire's Thirteen , but in which ten cards are laid out and pairs and single cards with 13 points are removed.
