Object: Build the eight Foundations from Ace/Two to Queen/King.
History: OddandEven is a known two-deck Solitaire (Patience) game Sources for card images & audio are given in 'Notes on 104Card-OddandEven.txt'.
Game Description: Using a few standard Card Solitaire terms: First click anywhere upon the blank grid area to create an opening setup. You will find 9 cards arranged in a central 3x3 tableau. The rest of the
playing cards are also randomly shuffled into an off-screen column. Transfer the tableau's cards, or a turned up card from the Deck onto any adjoining
foundation pile. The left four foundations are built from ACE to Queen - by both 'EVERY OTHER' number and in suit. The right four foundations are built from TWO to King - by both 'EVERY OTHER' number and in suit. Each available tableau space may be refilled from the deck. Tableau spaces must be refilled as soon as they occur. Winning is achieved when all foundation squares are built to Queen/King.
To draw a new card: play the (a2) cardback upwards one square. A first drawn card (waste pile) is still available with a following next draw. Using the first of two* displayed - card in hand, or top of waste (discard) pile - cards,
any immediately previous drawn card will be restored. * Per the rules of '150 ways to play Solitaire' (1950) book by Alphonse Moyse Jr. Most, if not all, solitaire programs only allow for one current card to be played, the 'card in hand' and not the prior
waste pile discard as well.
Card by card, there SHOULD BE only one redeal* with this version of card solitaire. However, I've left it to allow for continued redealing! Thus, every game can be won - in time.
Turn MOVES LIST off so you cannot cheat! I recommend using Zillions' Smart Moves feature with this game.
