House of Cards
About this game
Try to build a house of cards. Make sure the foundations and lower layers are strong enough to support higher layers. Walls are pairs of the same value or suit. Roofs can be any card. Walls of 20 and 21 in value have special capabilities.House of Cards is a classic card game, often available in various formats, including online versions in HTML5. It is a solitaire-style game where the goal is to arrange cards in a specific pattern to clear them from the playing field. Depending on the specific version, it may feature different rules or variations, but the general idea revolves around organizing the cards in a way that creates a "house" of cards in descending order. Gameplay Overview: Objective: The main objective in House of Cards is to arrange a deck of cards in a pyramid structure and clear the cards from the board by pairing up cards that add up to a specific value (commonly 13). The ultimate goal is to clear all the cards from the pyramid. Setup: The cards are dealt in a pyramid shape with a set number of rows. The bottom row typically has the most cards, and each subsequent row contains fewer cards. The cards are placed face-up, but only certain cards are initially available to be played or paired. Card Pairing: To remove cards from the pyramid, players need to pair two cards whose total value equals 13. In some versions, face cards have specific values: King = 13 (can be removed by itself), Queen = 12, Jack = 11, Ace = 1. Players can click on cards that are "exposed" (not covered by other cards) and combine them according to the rule (e.g., a Queen and a 2 to make 13). Clearing the Pyramid: Players continue selecting and pairing cards to remove them from the pyramid. The goal is to clear all cards in the pyramid using valid pairings. If all cards are successfully cleared, the player wins. Deck and Draw Pile: In some versions of House of Cards, players may have a draw pile (a deck of remaining cards that they can access to help make pairs). Players can draw cards from the deck to help with pairing, but the cards in the draw pile may be limited, adding an extra layer of strategy.
