Charlotte

Top  Previous  Next

1 Deck.  Medium (50%).  Mostly Skill.

 

Object

To group all the cards into 4 sets of 13 cards in sequence down in suit from King to Ace.

 

Layout

4 foundation piles (top right) - move entire 13-card King to Ace down in suit sequences from the tableau.

 

7 tableau piles - build down regardless of suit.  Groups of cards in sequence down in suit may be moved as a unit.  A space can be filled by any card or legal group of cards. At the start of the game 3 cards are dealt face up to each pile, then one more card is dealt face up to the first, fourth, and seventh piles.

 

stock (top left, face down) - Clicking deals 1 card to each tableau pile.

 

reserve  (below stock) - storage location for any number of cards.  Any available card or legal group of cards may be moved here.  The cards are available for play on the tableau.  No building on cards that are in the reserve.

 

 

Tips

Same suit sequences should be preferred even though building is down regardless of suit.  The object is to build down in suit sequences.

 

History

Charlotte is a variation of Spider Web.  The differences are that you must move the 13 card King to Ace sequences to the foundations yourself, and spaces in the tableau do not need to be filled before a deal from the stock, and you cannot build on cards in the reserve.
