<H1>Gypsy</H1>
<P>
Gypsy type. 2 decks. No redeal.
<H3>Object</H3>
<P>
Move all cards to the foundations.
<H3>Rules</H3>
<P>
The eight playing piles in the tableau all start with two
cards face-down and one showing.
Piles build down by alternate color, and an empty space can be filled
with any card or sequence.
<P>
When no more moves are possible, click on the talon. One card will be
added to each of the playing piles.
<P>
You are also permitted to move cards back out of the foundation.
<H3>Strategy</H3>
<P>
Making heavy use of the Undo key is explicitly encouraged here - you can win
quite a number of games with a little bit of thought.
<H3>History</H3>
<P>
Gypsy is my all time favorite - it is probably the reason
that I started writing PySol at all...
<P>
I first met Gypsy almost fifteen years ago in the nice
Atari ST game <I>Patience</I> written by Volker Weidner.
And as there seems to be no official name of
this variant I adopted the name Gypsy from another
game called <I>xpat2</I>.
