Solitaire Card Game 8

Westcliff
This game is a blend of Klondike and Forty Thieves, and is fairly easy to win.
Layout
Two rows of ten cards are dealt face down. A third row is dealt face up upon the first two rows.
Foundations
The four aces, as they become available, are to be moved to a row above the tableau and built up in suit to kings.
Tableau
The face-up cards on the tableau are built down in alternating colors. Any or all face-up cards on a tableau pile may be removed to another pile, if the sequence and alternation is correct. When all face-up cards are removed, the exposed face-down card is turned up and becomes available.
A space in the tableau, by removal of an entire pile, may be filled by any available card or group from the tableau, wastepile, or hand. Top cards of tableau piles are available for play on foundations.
Wastepile
Turn up cards from the hand one by one, placing unplayable cards face up on the wastepile. The top card of the wastepile, as well as the card in the hand, is available for play.

Whitehead
A blend of Klondike and Spiderette, but is only a little easier to win.
Layout
The completed tableau consists of seven piles increasing in number from one to seven cards. All cards are dealt face up.
Foundations
The four aces, as they become available, are to be moved to a row above the tableau and built up in suit to kings.
Tableau
The face-up cards on the tableau are built down in the same colors. Available for removal from one pile to another or into a space is the top card of the pile, together with any or all immediately below it that are in unbroken sequence in the same suit.
Whenever a face-down card on one pile is exposed, it is turned up and becomes available.
Top cards of tableau piles are always available for play on foundations. Aces should be moved up as soon as possible, but any higher card can be kept on the tableau for building purposes, if the player wishes, rather than built on a foundation.
A space in the tableau, by removal of an entire pile, may be filled by any available card or group.
Wastepile
Turn up cards from the hand one by one, placing unplayable cards face up on the wastepile. The top card of the wastepile, as well as the card in the hand, is available for play.

Will O' the Wisp
The major difficulty of Spiderette lies in the large number of buried cards, twenty-one. Will O' the Wisp reduces this number to fourteen, but earns its name because it is by no means so easy to win as it looks on paper.
Layout
Three rows of seven cards are dealt. The first two rows are dealt face down, with the last face up.
Play
All building is on tableau piles. The top card on each pile is available. Cards can be built on each other downward, regardless of suit. The sequence ends with an ace. The king may not be built on it.
A group on top of a pile, in suit and in correct sequence, may be moved in whole or in part. Hence, there is a premium upon making the "natural" builds in suit, when possible.
On removing the last face-up card from a pile, turn up the top face-down card, which then becomes available.
A space created by removal of an entire pile may be filled by an available card or group.
The object of play is to gather an entire suit of thirteen cards in ascending sequence from ace to king, from the top to bottom. When a suit is so assembled and is available, it can be taken off the tableau and discarded. This is accomplished by double-clicking any card withing the sequence. To win the game, all four suits must be properly assembled and then discarded.
Any assembled suit can be discarded when you choose to do so. There may be an advantage in breaking it up to help straighten other suits.
Hand
After play on the original layout comes to an standstill, seven more cards can be dealt from the hand, one on each pile. Continue in the same way, dealing a new row of seven cards and then pausing to play. Every space in the tableau must be filled before a new row can be dealt. The last three cards of the pack are dealt on the first three tableau piles.

Windmill
This game relies largely on chance, but if given a choice build on the center foundation before the others.
Pack
Two decks are used.
Layout
An ace is dealt to the middle foundation. Four cards are dealt, making a cross with the ace foundation in the middle, to form the tableau.
Foundations
The ace foundation is built up, regardless of suit, until it is fifty-two cards. The four kings, as they become available, are to be placed around the tableau and built down, regardless of suit, to aces.
Tableau
Each tableau card is always available for play on the foundations. Spaces in the tableau are immediately filled from the wastepile or hand.
Wastepile
Turn up cards from the hand one by one, placing unplayable cards face up on the wastepile. The top card of the wastepile, as well as the card in the hand, is available for play.

Yukon
A blend of two largely mechanical games, Klondike and Scorpion, Yukon affords surprising scope for skillful manipulation.
Layout
Deal twenty-eight cards in seven piles, in the same manner as for Klondike. Then the remaining twenty-four cards are dealt in four overlapping rows upon the six piles other than the single card.
Foundations
The four aces, as they become available, are to be moved to a row above the tableau and built up in suit to kings.
Play
The face-up cards on the tableau are built down in alternating colors. Available for building is any card face up in the tableau, regardless of how deeply buried. Such card, together with all that cover it, may be picked up and moved as a unit.
Aces may thus be built on dueces, but not kings on aces.
Whenever all face-up cards are cleared off a pile, the exposed face-down card on one pile is turned up and becomes available.
Top cards of tableau piles are always available for play on foundations. Aces should be moved up as soon as possible, but any higher card can be kept on the tableau for building purposes, if the player wishes, rather than built on a foundation.
A space in the tableau, by removal of an entire pile, may be filled only by a king, or by a group with a king at the bottom.
Helpful Hint
Get the face-down cards into play as quickly as possible. Play on foundations only to further this end. In building, try to keep foundations abreast in rank. To build one far ahead of the others may deprive the tableau of cards vitally needed for building.
