A simple and quick card game to play alone

A game to play alone with cards.

[@basilfatmi5869]

Name of the game plz???

[@TheMeanderingGentleman]

The name that i know is Napoleon's tomb solitaire, but there seem to be variations on the game if you look up the name online.

This is also known in Finland as Napoleon’s Tomb as well. Quite rare but fun solitaire. The way I learned it you are allowed to go through the deck twice which actually makes the game quite easy.

[@TheMeanderingGentleman]

It does sound like it would make the game easy. I actually like how hard it is, as you feel great when you finish it:)

This reminds me a lot of gridcannon, and if anyone has been having fun with this version, gridcannon had recently had its rules revised and has a much better goal that its previous version, but requires a lot more concentraction for a good score. Check it out

[@luxilerate]

can someone please explain in a more detailed way? whenever i try to play i'm just unsure of how everything is supposed to go, thank you!!

[@michellecluck6599]

When dealing the cards, you are looking for a 6 or a 7. If I 6 is dealt, it goes in the center pile, and 7s in the 4 corners. All other cards are dealt in the cardinal positions, and once those are filled, you deal into the discard. Once a 6 or a 7 is dealt, you can play on top of them from the cardinal positions: 6s are played down (5,4,3,2,A), and 7s are played up (8,9,10,J,Q,K). Once King is reached in the corners, that pile is complete. When Ace is reached in the center, you reset with another 6 (if dealt out already). As you play cards from the cardinals, you replace them with the cards on the top of the discard pile. The game is complete when all cards are played into the corners and center piles, which should leave you with 4 king cards and an ace card on top of their respective piles

[@miriamsimoes3312]

The piles of cards above/below/left/right of the "tomb" are supposed to go up or down? For example in the video the game starts with a 3 on the right. What can you put on top? A 2 and then an Ace? Or 4 and then a 5? I have been going down, but after many attempts, I didn't finish even once 😂 and usually I end up with piles with and Ace on top... Thank you.

[@Saldus__]

@@miriamsimoes3312 On the top, down, right, left you can put anything except a 6 or a 7. The cards on tge sides are like backup cards that you can use. hope this helps if it doesnt ask something again i’ll try to help

[@ShieldDJYT]

@@Saldus__so on the sides next to the back up cards you can put a 7? What do you do with the extra 6’s that are not in the middle?

[@cohenlaw7853]

Love the vid, starting to get into playing cards and im really enjoying it. Any recommendations for a good set of cards to buy? Thanks!

[@TheMeanderingGentleman]

Bicycle playing cards are "the standard", good for all sorts of stuff, like magic tricks and playing. If you are interested in something more resistant, in the video I'm using Bee playing cards. These two options are also relatively inexpensive, compared to others. If you want to spend a little more money, for a better design, I think the ones created by Theory 11, like Contraband or Monarchs look very good.

[@cuddlequeen3225]

I love the league callout. I dont play league, but still dont have any friends to play cards with.

Do the cards that are surrounded by in the middle do they go up in number or down in number? I understand the corner cards but I am stuck on the crossroad cards. Also, what is the name of this game? I knew I heard it was a French card game but would like the title if you know? Thank you!

If you run out of cards to flip, do you reshuffle the discard pile and keep flipping or do you lose?

[@TheMeanderingGentleman]

You lose.

What do you do with the six or seven if you pull one when setting up?

[@TheMeanderingGentleman]

Put the six in the middle and the seven in the corner.

[@madisoncheal7501]

What happens run you run out of cards? Game over? Or use discard pile again?

[@TheMeanderingGentleman]

Game over.

[@emilyseduse993]

What if u run out of the side column that’s supposed to fill blank spots on the game ?

[@TheMeanderingGentleman]

You use the cards that have not been turned (the ones remaining in the face-down pack), and if those have also run out, you lose.

[@Esskeau]

I remember my dad teaching me this when I was 10! I'd forgotten how to play this, and this really helped :) thank you!

[@samanthabehrend8066]

I am trying to get into playing cards and this seems like a fun game to start with! I had a question though, am I able to use the discard pile if it keeps revealing cards that I am able to use? For example, if the discard pile has a 5 on it and I place it on the 6 in the middle, and then there is a 4 underneath of the 5 I picked up, can I use that 4 or is it cheating to continually take from the discard pile?

[@TheMeanderingGentleman]

Thank you for your comment! The answer to your question is YES. You can use the card that is underneath, in the discard pile. Good luck!

[@TheMeanderingGentleman]

Some decks contain promotional cards, especially those from bicycle or printed by the United States Playing Card Company. They are just some cards that are not used in any game, in my deck there was one showing the hands in poker, sometimes a card with a link to some website.

[@sofialaurenn8801]

what if you have a 5 on the extra piles, do you put a 6 card or leave it????

[@TheMeanderingGentleman]

If there is an ace in the middle, you put a six over it.

​@@TheMeanderingGentleman Alright I'll look, thanks man! here is my edit: You definitely deserve more subscribers, I've only watched this video but your others look intriguing!

[@TheDisplacerBeast]

So if the middle pile goes in reverse then how do the towers on the sides stay at the end? Surely youd deal all the cards from the side towers into the middle once the middle has a card one higher than that of the side?

[@TheMeanderingGentleman]

The middle only holds cards lower than 7, the side towers hold cards higher or equal to 7.

[@TheDisplacerBeast]

@@TheMeanderingGentleman ah! Thank you, that makes more sense than what i was doing. Im used to thinking of cards as being in a loop where ace comes after a king and before a two. That obviously caused issues :)

[@cuddlequeen3225]

Do I get to choose which cards I put Into my usable cards surrounding the 6 pile, or must I immediately replace empty spaces with cards from the discard? I've been playing with the latter and sometimes end up with something like two 3s and two 2s. Or 2 kings, a queen, and a J. And I usually lose with those sequences.

[@TheMeanderingGentleman]

You have been playing right. Yes, you do lose often in this game. Good luck!

I do have a question how do you lose by running out of cards or running out of cards to place because that part really confuse me I'd appreciate it

[@edjamaz4636]

There are two variants of the game, the easier version allows you to flip over the discard pile to reuse once more. The harder version doesn’t.

[@TheMeanderingGentleman]

It's just an Ed JAMAZ said, the version I described here does not allow you to flip through the discard pile. If you were able to, you would always win.

[@adengibbs802]

So corners you count up from 7 middle you count down from 6 what are face card values and do you win one you have went to face to ace in all spots with all cards used. answer would be greatly appreciated

[@TheMeanderingGentleman]

You win when all the cards are arranged. The cards with drawings on them- j,q,k- go in the corners. You can think of the ace as just one, and it goes in the middle.
