In 36 or 52 cards.

Option 1 (36 cards)

Task pyramid solitaire is to remove all cards from the playing area, which consists of three areas: A, B, C.

The cards are shuffled, removed and laid out in order, face up, in area A in the form of a pyramid: the first row - one card, the second row - 2 cards, put on the first, half covering it.

In turn, the third row of 3 cards is superimposed on it, and so on - only 6 rows, in the last, sixth row there will be 6 cards.

Thus, in total, 21 are laid out in the pyramid. face up card .

The rest of the deck is placed in area B heading up, that is, closed.

At the beginning of the game and thereafter, the top card of deck B is always revealed. If she has not played any card from the pyramid, she may be moved to reserve area C.

In this reserve area, the face-up cards moved in this way and stacked in a pile are accumulated.

As soon as the top card is left open from deck B, the next card is revealed, and so on.

Maps are removed from the site in pairs... Any two cards make up a pair regardless of suit if their total score is 19.

In this case, the cards are assigned the following values ​​of points: sixes, sevens, eights, nines, tens have points in accordance with the denomination, ace- 11 points, jack- 12 points, lady- 13 points, and king 19 points are attributed.

Thus, the pairs are: 6 - lady; 7 - jack; 8 - ace; 9 - 10; and the king can be removed alone, without a pair, since he has 19 points.

Play, that is, removed from the playing area, can only be fully exposed cards of the pyramid (area A), the top open cards of deck B and reserve C.

Pyramid Solitaire is considered won if all cards are removed.

Otherwise the quality solitaire"pyramid" can be estimated by the number of cards remaining on the playing field or by the total number of uncollected points.

Option 2 (52 cards)

This option differs from the first option as follows:

At the initial layout, pyramid A contains not 6, but 7 rows, including from one to seven cards. The last, 7th row, consisting of seven cards, is placed on the sixth according to the same principle as the sixth on the fifth, etc.

The pairs form cards giving a total of 13 points. Kings in this variant are valued at 13 points. The rest of the cards are assigned the following point values: from two to ten - points at par, ace - 1 point, jack - 11 points, queen - 12 points.

Thus, the pairs here will be as follows: two with a jack; 3 - 10; 4 - 9; 5 - 8; 6 - 7; ace - queen; and the king is one.

It is more interesting to lay out this variant of solitaire cards than the 36-card variant. It is no coincidence that the 52 card deck is called a solitaire deck.

What was the original game of solitaire?

The history of solitaire as a fortune-telling with cards began about 300 years ago in France. The era of Louis was quite rich in various magical manifestations, especially attempts to predict the future. Representatives of high society often turned to magicians, fortune tellers, and soothsayers for help. Many had personal consultants.

It was during this period that the French elite mastered an independent method of predictions, giving a simple answer to a question or a wish. It was . Several simple variants of the layout of an ordinary playing deck, according to certain rules, gave a positive answer (in case of a favorable confluence of cards) or predicted failure (in case of an unsolvable combination).

In addition to the classic gypsy solitaire games, the most popular at that time, Indian, Chinese and other layouts gradually appeared, for which special cards with symbolic drawings were used. Such cards gave a detailed prediction about future events, material prospects and love predictions.

Why solitaire turned into fortune telling

The purpose of each card layout is to collect four suits in a specific order according to a certain pattern. From the point of view of mathematics, absolutely all solitaire games are played out positively. Only a qualitative analysis of open cards and the right choice are important.

An individual train of thought, one's own view of the card situation, various solutions to the same combinations filled each layout with a special meaning. It was these parameters that raised solitaire to the rank of fortune telling, which was gaining incredible popularity among ordinary people far from magic.

The layouts that required special decks were, by definition, fortune-telling, since such cards were used only for prophecy. But such decks were not available to everyone. Therefore, solitaire games playing cards are still in demand more than others.

The essence of solitaire, fortune telling on 36 cards

The main task of a person playing solitaire using a regular playing deck is to collect all four suits in order of rank. There are innumerable forms and names, with the participation of one or more decks, primitively simple and very complex - all of them give real pleasure to people who are trying to get a hint in this way.

Consider the old Gypsy solitaire of 36 cards - "Empty Space", known to very few fans of card layouts. Thinking of a desire, we carefully shuffle the deck and lay it out in 4 rows of 9 pieces face down. Each row corresponds to a certain suit - clubs, then diamonds, followed by hearts and at the end of the spades. From top to bottom ranks, from six to ace. The last card, which is in the bottom row on the right, is revealed. Depending on the denomination, it should be shifted to the right place. The card that freed up space is also turned over and shifted. This is done until the ace of clubs opens. He lays down on the empty seat from which the first one was opened. If all the cards are open and fall into place, everything will come true. If the remaining ones are not inverted, we begin to count. The first row corresponds to the years that will pass before the realization of the conceived. The second is for months, the third is for weeks, and the fourth is for days.

In order for the result of the solitaire to be the most accurate, several special actions should be performed. They take the deck in hand and read the conspiracy:

“Thirty-six sisters, godfathers and daughters-in-law, brothers and comrades. Serve me faithful service, unchanging friendship. Thirty-six cards of four suits, tell me the whole truth: what to expect, what to expect, what to fear, what business not to take on. I call all of you, I call and pronounce: my word is strong and stucco to cards. Amen."

With the left hand, in the direction of the heart, the deck is shuffled, some of the top cards are shifted to the bottom.
It is best to lay out cards on Fridays, every 13th and during the Yule divination. The most unfavorable day is Monday.

Was it a coincidence or a pattern?

It is impossible to give a specific definition of the results of fortune telling with the help of solitaire. Absolutely all rituals associated with cards have a deep magical component beyond the control of the human mind. In a strange way, for hundreds of years, familiar pictures have told secrets hidden beyond reality.
To this day, it has not been possible to explain random combinations with the help of mathematical regularities. Each person is unique, just like each solitaire he has played.

Human life consists of many random encounters, actions, words and emotions. All of them lead to natural consequences. Therefore, fortune-telling solitaire takes a worthy place in this row.

The most original solitaire game ever

If the layouts of 36 and 52 playing cards are known to many people, thanks to the existence of all kinds of computer applications and online versions, then solitaire on special pictures looks quite original.

For such fortune telling, Indian, French, German and Chinese cards are used. Each deck has its own description and interpretation of images. According to the rules for performing the alignment, such solitaire games are very similar. The meaning of the alignment is the coincidence of the picture, which consists of two parts. The picture, combined in the layout, is the main one in predicting the future.

A detailed description of the French deck of non-playing cards can be found in the chapter. A large number of original layouts are presented online.
