Bayan
Main aim.
Collect all the cards in one heap
.
Rules.
The 52 card deck is laid out in 6 horizontal lines. If a card lies on
the right of the card of same suit or value (next to it or next
nearest), it is laid on the left card. Cards laid one on another are
moved altogether, in a pack. The vacant places are filled by moving the
remained packs to the left.
Two by two
Main aim.
Lay out all the cards of the deck.
Rules.
4 first cards of the deck are laid out pictures up. Once you get two
cards of the same kind, you cover them with two other cards from the
deck. You win in case the whole deck is distributed.
Joker
Main aim.
Collect all the cards on the Aces in keeping with the suits according to
the bottom-up approach, like 7,8,9,10, jack, queen, king.
Rules.
To play this solitaire you’ll need a deck of 32 cards and two jokers.
You take 4 aces out of the deck and lay them out in a row. The rest 30
cards are laid out shirts up above the aces in 6 horizontal lines, 5
cards each. Only the open cards can be moved from one place to another.
An open card is a lower card of any of the vertical rows. For instance,
once the whole pack is laid out all 6cards of the fifth lower horizontal
line are open. An open card may be placed on a 1 value stronger open
card of another row, interchanging red and black suits. For instance,
the 9 of diamonds may be covered with the 8 of spades or the 8 of clubs,
the 8 of clubs may in its turn be covered with the 7 of hearts or the 7
of diamonds. An open card may be placed on an ace in the ascending order
in keeping with the suits. An open Joker is placed aside as a backup to
use in the appropriate moment. It can substitute any card of the
necessary suit. So, if you cover the 10 of diamonds with a Joker, it can
be afterwards covered with the 8 of diamonds or the 8 of hearts. (in
this very case the Joker is used instead of the 9 of clubs or the 9 of
spades). You may use the two Jokers at once. In case there appears a
vacant column any open cards may be placed there.
Herring-bone
Main aim.
Sort out the cards laid out in two herring-bone patterns, moving them
into the main heap.
Rules.
The deck of 52 cards is laid out into 2 "herring-bone" patterns, 16
cards each. The rest of the deck is dealt one card at a time. In case
any lower, open card of the patterns is one value weaker than the dealt
card (irrespective of its suit), it is placed into the rest of the deck
over the dealt one. All the other cards of the patterns which are one
value weaker than the dealt one are also placed into the deck. The cards
are rounded according to this principle until either the whole deck is
out or the ‘herring-bone’ pattern is sorted out. You win in case you
sort out the patterns before the deck is out.
Wish
Main aim.
Arrange the cards in ascending order irrespective of the suit on the
bases in the row above the index-cards.
Rules.
To play the patience you will need two decks of 52 cards which are
divided into 8 heaps, 12 cards each (second horizontal line). The upper
card is open and is called the "index card". Beneath you should lay out
the row of 8 heaps, 1 card each. Cards may be taken from any of these
heaps and put above the index cards. The taken card should be one value
stronger than the index card, thus ace is covered by 2, irrespective of
the suit. When there are no more variants, you should click on the index
row (2nd row) and the new cards will automatically cover the lower row.
You win in case all the cards except fro the index ones are collected on
the 8 bases.

you get an ace in one of the 4 lines.
Example.
The first card to take is the one from the lower heap. Let’s say it is
the 6 of diamonds. It is then placed into the 3rd row instead of the
first card. So, the 1st card is open and it is, say, the 8 of diamonds,
you then place it into the 3rd row on its own place. Its place is now
open and the next open card is the ace of spades. You place it on the
place of the ace of spades and after that you take a card only from the

by the 6). The cards of the side heaps are laid out in descending order
(the 10 followed by the 9). The empty spaces can be filled with any
cards from the supplementary deck. In case there are no cards in the
main heaps, additional cards may be also taken from the supplementary

open cards appear they are automatically moved on to the bases. Open
cards are those of the upper and lower rows. If one of upper row cards
is in the game, it opens the card lying beneath it and so on. The same
algorithm is used for the cards of the lower row. Open cards, in case
they are suitable, are put on the bases in the following concession –
ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack, queen, king.

place the 9 of spades there.

open and the player gets a certain number of points for that. If the
cards do not coincide and did not match by values, they are
automatically closed, which gives the player another try to open any
other pair of cards. The player follows the same algorithm until all of
the playing cards are open.

cell. The lower card of the column may be put on a next stronger card
irrespective of its suit (1 suit game), changing the suits in turns (2
or 4 suit game). A set of cards of the same kind functions as a whole
and may be moved as a separate card. In case another lower row is

row at least one card in each column is necessary. The deck is rounded
only once.
