SPENSER'S FAIRIE QUEEN.
SPENSER'S FAIRIE QUEEN
Two Entire Packs of Cards
RULES
- The foundations follow suit.
- If during the deal two or more kings turn up in succession, cards can only be placed on the last one.
- Available cards may be transferred from one column to another in descending sequence and need not follow suit.
- Only the lowest card of each column is available, until its removal releases the one above it.
- Any available card may be transferred to a single king, and sequences may be placed upon that card as upon those of the other columns.
PLAY
Take one king from the pack, and place it at the left-hand upper corner. Upon this king you place the cards as they are dealt, in perpendicular column, each card half covering the preceding one, until a second king appears, which must be placed next to the first one, and becomes in its turn the head of a second column (Rule II). When a third king appears, it is placed next to the second one, and is treated in like manner, and so on until the pack is exhausted, cards being always placed on the last king turned up. Thus some kings will head lines of different lengths (see Note 3, on next page), and some will probably remain alone, and this, as will be seen, is very advantageous.
During the deal, aces as they turn up are placed in the spaces reserved.
