These are combined shuffled and used for the layout | of red and black while the other has a preponderance <br> | ||
of one color that determines the division (What it <br> | |||
both are tied?) The cards are placed face up since all <br> | |||
the cards are known.<br> | |||
A player in his turn places a card of his choice on the layout <br> | |||
the two adjoining lands in an orthogonal straight line <br> | |||
(or around the corner for a corner position) must <br> | |||
add up to the same final digit as the card being <br> | |||
placed. If the card is the same color as the card already <br> | |||
in that position, it covers it. If the color is <br> | |||
different the card (on top card of a pile) is taken <br> | |||
and the new card placed in its position. If the card removed <br> | |||
is the opponent's color it is captured and counts <br> | |||
its numerical value. If the card removed is the player's <br> | |||
own color he adds it to his playable cards for future use.<br> | |||
We disagreed on the procedure when a player has <br> | |||
no card that he can place. Phil gave him the right <br> | |||
to turn over one of the positions on the layout. I have him <br> | |||
lose his turn until able to play again (if at all).<br> | |||
same is over when one player is out of cards under <br> | |||
my rule. Under Phil's, when no further plays can be<br> | |||
made.<br> | |||
Later I thought of the following which might, or might not, <br> | |||
be an improvement Divide the 40 lands by color. <br> | |||
Each player shuffles his half and deals out 8 cards.<br> | |||
These are combined, shuffled, and used for the layout. <br> | |||
Cards can be placed according to the number relationships <br> | |||
of my solitaire version. When a card is placed on one's own <br> | |||
color it stays there but when the opponent places a card <br> | |||
on that pile all the cards are captured. (Not tested.) |
