Featured Game - Rough Rider
---------------------------
Rough Rider is one of the new games in version 12.4 of Pretty Good Solitaire.
Rough Rider is a variation of Forty Thieves. It is a two deck game.
At the start of the game, four cards are dealt to each of ten tableau piles. The first
card is face down and the remaining three are face up. There are eight foundation
piles, which are built up in suit from Ace to King. The object, as usual, is to move
all of the cards to the foundation piles.
The remainder of the deck forms a stock, which is turned over one card at a time
to a waste pile. There are no redeals.
The tableau piles are built down in suit, only one card at a time may be moved.
Spaces in the tableau may be filled by any card.
Rough Rider differs from Forty Thieves in that there are some face down cards in
the tableau, so you cannot see as many cards.
Rough Rider is a new game, so there are very few entries in the high scores at
http://scores.goodsol.com/topscores/scores/pgs/roughrider.html yet, but so far
players are winning about one-third of the time. There is currently an active
thread on our forum at http://www.goodsol.net/forum/messages/18/10904.html
where players are discussing which game numbers are winnable.
Rough Rider is one of the 750 solitaire games in Pretty Good Solitaire for Windows
