Beleaguered Castle (0)

Beleagued Castle is a solitaire card game played with a standard deck of 52 playing cards. It is also called Laying Seige or Sham battle.

Rules.

First the player removes the four aces from the pack and places them face up in a column in the center of the table to form the foundations.

Then the remainder of the deck is shuffled and a column of four cards is dealt to the left of the aces, followed by a column to the right of the aces.

Succeeding columns are dealt on these successively, each column overlapping the last until the whole pack is dealt. This forms eights rows of six cards in each.

The object of the game is to build on the foundations in suit sequence up to the kings. The cards available for play are those at the far ends of each row. They can be built directly onto the foundations or packed onto another available cards in descending order of rank, irrespective of suit.

When one row is emptied, it can be filled with any available card. There are thus always eight available cards for play.

This game is quick to play but with many failures which can be frustrating.
