Solitaire Rule Sheet V.1 and V.2

 Group number: 1


My group member and I created a version of Solitaire that implemented the two Jokers and a point system, and it took away a lot of the player's choices. 

The game is set up as a normal Solitaire game, and the leftover cards in the deck are placed face down next to the lanes. Before the player can use the deck, they must assess wether they are able to move any of the face up cards in the field. The player must move the cards in the field if possible before they can go through the deck. Once all moves that can be made are made, the player can go take the top card on the deck. If the card can be used, it must be used; if the card can't be used, it is then placed in the discard pile. 

If the player comes across a Joker, the player can then make a new lane and pick a face down card from the lanes to place face up onto the Joker. The Joker lane is then played as a regular lane.

If the player wants to use a card they previously discarded, they can go through the discard pile to do so at a maximum of 4 times per round. Once the player goes through the whole deck, they then shuffle the discard pile and play as before. If the player goes through the deck 3 times, the player loses. A point is rewarded any time a card is placed or moved on the field, and 5 points are rewarded for putting a card in the Ace piles. The goal is to get all the cards in ascending order by their suit or to get as many points as possible.

Some issues that occurred were figuring out a way to make players need to reach into the discard pile. The solution was giving a point system rather than simply the goal of placing all the cards in ascending order. The point system also posed an issue if the player decided to move a card between two cards continuously, so we added a rule that points are only awarded for each card once.
