Wald showed <u>GAME OF CHANGES</u>, played with
High Deck (See Rational Solitaire in large Card File).
When played by the <s>three</s> four players 8 cards are dealt to
each. Players in turn must play a card. If they play
the first card of a house it can be any one. The
four houses are kept in separate piles. When a card is
played to a pile already started it must match the
last played card either vertically ( [<s>_</s>] K-P-F-L)
or horizontally (i.e. _ K-V). For example if the "S"
were on top either the "V" - "C" or "P" could be played.
All cards are visible at all times, both those dealt
to the players and those played in the piles.
When a player can not play in his turn he is out
and play continues until all except one player have dropped
out; the remaining one can continue playing as long as
able. His score is all the cards remaining to the
dropped players added together and then subtracting
the cards, if any, he has remaining. Play to some a-
greed total.
When 3 play deal 10 cards to each and 2 others
to the table which are the starters of 2 piles.
If both are the same house that house remains, in
this case, with 2 piles.
When 2 play the deal is the same as for 3 hand.
Of the 3 hands one belongs to each player and
the 3rd is a dummy hand that can be played from by
either player in his turn instead of playing from
his own hand.
Theoretically the game is playable by 5 or 6 players
but has not been tried yet.
