The rules
The rule given below comes from Illustrirtes Buch der Patiencen . First volume, JU Kern's Verlag, Breslau 1884/1885.
Each of the two players sitting opposite each other takes a game of whist cards , a pack of 52 French cards , shuffles it and lets the opponent cut it. Whoever has taken off the highest makes the beginning. He places the first thirteen cards in an open substitute pack ( Schikanös pack ) sideways on the table and the next four cards in a row next to each other or face up in front of him. In the picture this is the right column, analogously the same is built up on the left side. The second player places his cards in the same way. There must be space between the two rows for the eight aces (the two middle columns in the picture):
| ♠ | ♠ |
|
|
| ♥ | ♥ |
|
|
| ♦ | ♦ |
|
|
| ♣ | ♣ |
|
As the game progresses, as soon as they appear, the aces are placed in their designated spaces and form the basic cards for families of ascending value that close with the kings, i.e. ♥ A - ♥ 2 - ♥ 3 - ... - ♥ J - ♥ Q - ♥ K.
The first player then draws the remaining cards of his play one on one by one, by being ready either to every leaf on the Aces in to attach increasing sequel to forming families, or in the same color and from rising order on the stock packages accommodate , which are formed on the four cards on each side of the ace row (this rule was changed many times by later authors, see red-black sequences ).
In the example shown, the player can place the ♦ A in the middle and ♠ J on ♠ Q.
The first card, the first player can not be accommodated in this way, he puts a start to his shock ( laydown shock ) to himself.
The second player follows, who does the same and still has the right to place cards that neither fit on the ace row nor on the eight supply packs on the replacement pack or on the opponent's started pile as soon as they fit in the suit. Whether in on - or from rising sequence. The first player has the same right when the game continues. This advantage must be carefully observed in order to increase the opponent's card supply, but to reduce your own. the one who is first with his cards at the end wins.
The eight supply packets can be transferred to the row of aces as soon as they join it, and their place is then filled by the top card from the pile of the player in turn. It is generally advisable to always use the matching cards from the replacement pack first - be it on the ace row or on the eight supply packs. Each shot in this solitaire is taken as many times as necessary. However, a player must always leave his own until the opponent no longer has a suitable card to display. Only when it is his turn can he resume his stroke and withdraw it again as a block ( talon ).
Further rules
The above rule was varied in many ways by later authors, and so the quarrel solitaire is played in different ways. The stated rule is in no way to be regarded as binding in the sense of the rules of chess ; in particular, the author writes in the foreword:
"Most of the patience described in this book still allow various small changes, alleviations or complications. It would go too far to point this out to each individual solitaire; the somewhat experienced player will easily find them out and be able to change individual numbers to his liking. "
The following deviations from the above rule are very common.
Red-black episodes
The original rule that the cards must be placed on the supply pack in the same color was later mostly changed to the effect that instead of pure color sequences (according to the older language: tribes or hierarchies ), red-black sequences (according to the older language : Change ribs ) must be formed. So one could put either ♥ J or ♦ J on ♠ Q.
Supply package
A variation that is also widespread concerns the supply packs. It is often played in such a way that, as soon as it is his first move, instead of a row of four face-up cards, he first places one or two rows of four face-down cards and then one face-up card on each face-down card.
Stop!
Usually the rule applies that building the families on the aces takes precedence over any other possible move. If a player fails to put a card that could be placed in the middle of an ace row there, or if he fails to reveal a card that can be used for the construction, the opponent can shout "Stop!" The player in turn must end his turn immediately and it is his opponent's turn.
