Flower Garden
Instructions
Layout
There are three
areas of the screen:
- Building
Stacks / Garden Columns The six building stacks are found in the
bottom half of the screen and represent the columns of the "garden".
The building stacks accept cards in descending rank regardless of suit.
Any card can be placed in an empty building stack.
- Reserve
/ Bouquet The reserve, or "bouquet" is located in the top row of
the layout and contains the 16 cards which are not in the building stacks.
Any card in the reserve is accessible, not just the topmost.
- Suit
Stacks The suits stacks are located on the left and right sides
of the layout.
Moving
Cards
To move a card,
click on the card (which will highlight it) and then click on the destination.
Only cards at the top of a building stack or anywhere in the reserve can
be moved. The following are valid moves.
- An ace
can be moved to its suit stack. (This will usually be done automatically.)
- A card
can be moved to its corresponding suit stack if the rank of the card
at the top of that stack is one less than the card's rank (Kings have
a rank of 13, queens 12, jacks 11 and an ace has a rank of 1).
- A card
can be moved to an empty building stack.
- A card
can be moved to another building stack if the card at the top of the
destination stack has a rank one more than the card.
- Ordered
cards at the bottom of a building stack can be moved to another building
stack if there is a card in the ordered sequence which has a different
color and a rank one less than the card at the top of the destination
stack. There must be an empty space for every moved card below the top
card.
To move
an ordered sequence of cards at the top of a stack to an empty building
stack, first select all the ordered cards by clicking twice on the stack,
then click the empty space. If there are fewer empty spaces than selected
cards, the number of cards moved will equal the original number of empty
spaces.
Right-clicking
on a stack will move the its top card to an empty space. If more than
one card in the right-clicked stack has been selected, the selected cards
will be moved to empty stacks until there are no more selected cards or
there are no more empty spaces.
A card will
be automatically moved to the suit stacks from the tops of the building
stacks if the cards which might be placed on top of it are already in
the suit stacks. Clicking undo will retract an automatic move.
Cheating
Holding the
shift key down while moving multiple cards will make the move even if there
are not enough empty spaces.
Tips
- Increase
the rank of the cards at the top of the suit stacks (in the options
window) if you are unfamiliar with the game.
- Try to
obtain empty spaces early in the game. A game is probably not winnable
if at least two spaces cannot be created.
- Do not
remove a card from the reserve unless it is required to make a move
in a building stack.
- Move
an ordered sequence of cards in stages if there are not enough empty
spaces to move the sequence in one step. If there is more than one empty
space, transfer as many cards as possible to each space and then reassemble
the sequence on the desired destination stack. Even if there are not
enough empty spaces, it might be possible to move the sequence if there
is a card on top of another stack which can accept a subsequence of
the moved cards.
Buttons
Clicking on
these buttons will perform the following actions:
- New
Game
- Begin
a new game after shuffling the deck
- Restart
- Return
to the original state of the current game
- Undo
- Return
to the condition before the previous move was made
-
Options
- Bring
up a window with the following options:
-
Starting rank
- This
option sets the rank of the cards at the tops of the suit stacks
at the start of the game. A new game must be started for this option
to take effect. Increasing this value will result in an easier game.
-
Automatic card moving
- When
this box is set (which is the default), a card atop a stack will
be moved to its suit stack automatically if there are no cards available
which might be placed on top of it.
