View source for Software:Batsford (solitaire)

'''Batsford''' is a solitaire game similar to [[Software:Klondike (solitaire)|Klondike]] except that it uses two decks instead of one.  The cards are turned up only one at a time, and there is only one pass through the Deck.  There is also a Reserve pile available for a single King.  The object of this game is to move all cards to the Foundations.

==Layout==
'''Batsford''' has eight Foundations that build up from Ace to King in suit.  

Here is an example: A♣, 2♣, 3♣, 4♣...

There are ten Tableau Stacks ranging from one to ten cards long.  Tableau Stacks build down in opposite colors.

Here is an example: 10♠, 9<span style="color:red;">♥</span>, 8♠, 7<span style="color:red;">♦</span>...

The game includes one Reserve Pile where a single King can be held.  On the left is the Deck that turns up one card at a time.

==Rules==
Cards in the Tableau can be moved to a Foundation or onto another Tableau Stack.  The Tableau builds down in opposite colors.  Only a King can be moved to an empty space.  Click or tap on the Deck to turn one card up at a time.  The topmost card can be moved to the Foundations or the Tableau.  A single King may be moved to the Reserve Pile as needed.  Only one pass is allowed through the Deck, making this an extremely hard game to win.
