Solitaire Terminology
Games of patience, or (card) solitaires as they are usually called in North America, have their own 'language' of specialised terms such as "building down", "packing", "foundations", "talon" and "tableau". Once learnt they are helpful in describing, succinctly and accurately, how the games are played. Patience games are usually for a single player, although a small number have been designed for two and, in rare cases, three or even four players. They are games of skill or chance or a combination of the two. There are three classes of patience grouped by object. The most frequent object is to arrange the cards either in ascending sequence (e.g. from Ace to King) or descending sequence. Occasionally both forms of sequence are aimed at in the same game. The card forming the starting point of the required sequence is known as the foundation card and the sequence or family is said to be 'built up' on such card. In some cases foundation cards are picked out and placed in position ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

7 (seven) is the natural number following 6 and preceding 8. It is the only prime number preceding a cube. As an early prime number in the series of positive integers, the number seven has greatly symbolic associations in religion, mythology, superstition and philosophy. The seven Classical planets resulted in seven being the number of days in a week. It is often considered lucky in Western culture and is often seen as highly symbolic. Unlike Western culture, in Vietnamese culture, the number seven is sometimes considered unlucky. It is the first natural number whose pronunciation contains more than one syllable. Evolution of the Arabic digit In the beginning, Indians wrote 7 more or less in one stroke as a curve that looks like an uppercase vertically inverted. The western Ghubar Arabs' main contribution was to make the longer line diagonal rather than straight, though they showed some tendencies to making the digit more rectilinear. The eastern Arabs developed the digit fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Spades (suit)
Spades form one of the four suits of playing cards in the standard French deck. It is the same shape as the leaf symbol in German-suited cards but looks like a black heart turned upside down with a stalk at its base. It symbolises the pike or halberd, two medieval weapons. In French the suit of Spades is known as the ''Pique'' and in German as the ''Pik''. It corresponds to the suit of Leaves (''Laub'', ''Grün'', ''Schippen'' or, in Bavaria, ''Gras'') in the German suited playing cards. In Switzerland, the suit is known as ''Schuufle'' ("shovel") and in many German regions, e.g. the Rhineland as ''Schüppe/Schippe'' ("shovel"). In Bridge, Spades rank as the highest suit. In Skat and similar games, it is the second-highest suit. Name The French name for this suit, '' pique'' ("pike"), meant, in the 14th century, a weapon formed by an iron spike placed at the end of a pike. For playing cards, the term may have been coined by analogy with the Latin symbol from which it is d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clubs (suit)
Clubs is one of the four suits of playing cards in the standard French deck. It corresponds to the suit of Acorns in a German deck . Its original French name is Trèfle which means "clover" and the card symbol depicts a three-leafed clover leaf. The Italian name is Fiori ("flower"). The English name "Clubs" is derived from the suit of ''Bastoni'' (batons) in Italian-Spanish suited cards. In Germany, this suit is known as Kreuz ("cross"), especially in the International Skat Regulations. In Austria, by contrast, it is almost exclusively called Treff, a reference to the French name, especially in the game of Bridge, where French names generally predominate, for example ''Cœur'' is used instead of ''Herz''. In Skat and Doppelkopf, Clubs are the highest-ranked suit (whereas Diamonds/ Bells are the trump suit in Doppelkopf). In Bridge, Clubs are the lowest suit. Characteristics The symbol for the suit of Clubs depicts a very stylised three-leaf clover with its stalk orien ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
