Is a widely known form of card solitairePatience was first mentioned in literature shortly after layouts were developed circa 1765, suggesting a connection between the two. This theory is supported by the name of the game in Danish and Norwegian, kabal(e). An 1895 account describes a variant of the game exclusively used for cartomancy.The first collection of patience card games in the English language is attributed to Lady Adelaide Cadogan through her Illustrated Games of Patience, published in about 1870 and reprinted several times. Other collections quickly followed such as Patience by Ednah Dow Littlehale Cheney (1869), Amusement for Invalids by Annie B. Henshaw (1870), and later Dick's Games of Patience, published. Other books about patience written towards the end of the 19th century were by H. Jones (a.k.a.
Cavendish), Angelo Lewis (a.k.a. Professor Hoffman), Basil Dalton, Ernest Bergholt, and Mary Whitmore Jones.Types In most games of patience the overall aim is to arrange all thirteen cards of each suit in order in a 'family' running from ace to king. Normally the ace forms the 'foundation' on which a two of the same suit is placed, followed by a three and so on. This is known as 'building' and all such games are, technically, builders. However, in many games the cards must be assembled in reverse order on another part of the layout called the 'tableau'. They can then be built in the right sequence on the foundations. This interim process of reverse building is calling 'packing'.
Games that use this technique are thus called 'packers'. Games that use neither technique are called 'non-builders'.There are also specials kinds of packer-games which may be further sub-classified as:. Blockades. Planners. SpidersPatience games may be classified by the degree to which the cards are revealed. In 'open' games, all the cards are visible throughout the game and the player has to use powers of analysis to solve the patience.
In 'closed' games, cards are drawn from a face-down stock and the player has to use judgement because the sequence of cards is unknown until they appear. In between is a hybrid group which Parlett calls 'half-open'. See also., not including peg solitaire., a computer algorithm. Software patience games:. (featured 28 variations of patience)References.
