Sultan

Sultan, The Sultan or Sultan of Turkey is a patience or solitaire card game that uses two packs of playing cards. It is so named since a successful game rewards the player with a view of the Sultan (King of Hearts) surrounded by his harem of eight queens. This game is sometimes also called Emperor of Germany. Some skill is needed to achieve success. Rules At the beginning of the game nine cards are laid out in the following arrangement: These cards make up the foundations and will be built up by suit in order. On the single foundation with an Ace, the A♥ foundation, the next cards will be 2♥, 3♥, and so on. On the seven kings, the order is Ace, 2, 3, etc., of the appropriate suits. Throughout the game, the only card which you cannot place other cards on is the K♥ (the Sultan) in the center location.
