The World Of Two Handed Solitare

May 19, 2010 3:22pm CST
I have aways wanted to play two handed solitaire so I can play against the cards and my husband, but none of my family or friends say they don't know or that I'm dreaming because there is no such go. I know how to play solitaire and it's fun but it would be nice to try something new. 1: is there a game of solitaire that two people can play? 2: if there is, could someone please explain the game to me? Take care Snow

Yes, such a game does exist. Double Solitaire. This is a competitive version of Klondike patience (solitaire). Each of the two players plays with their own 52-card pack. The backs of the cards should be different so that they can be sorted out after the game. Each player deals a layout as for Klondike: 28 cards in 7 piles, each having the top card face up and the rest face down. The left hand pile has just one card, the second two, and so on, the right hand pile having seven cards. Between the two rows of 7 piles is space for eight foundation piles, which can be played on by either player. Each player begins with a stack of 24 face-down cards. The player with the lower card on their one-pile starts - or in case of a tie whoever has the lower card on their two-pile and so on. At your turn you can make a series of moves as in Klondike. You may move cards around on your own layout, move cards onto the foundation piles when they fit, and move cards from your discard pile to your layout or the foundations. You are not allowed to play onto or use your opponent's layout or discard pile. You end your turn when you cannot or choose not to make any other moves by turning over the top card of your face-down stack, and placing it on your face-up discard pile. Your opponent then plays. The game ends when one player has played all the cards to the foundation piles, or when both players are blocked, in which case the winner is the player who has played more cards to the foundation piles.

I used to play solitaire for last 10 years. But I have never thought of playing double solitaire. But I like this idea. My husband also likes solitaire. If both of us can play together then it is nice, Play well dear...........
