These pages are devoted to King Albert, a patience game played with an ordinary pack of cards. King Albert is a patience game similar to the ubiquitous card game for one player played with seven columns of cards that is bundled with Microsoft windows and called "solitaire", but simply called "patience" in England. King Albert a much better game, and rewards careful study. It can be most satisfying when you "get it out", and if you don't, there's often a nagging doubt that you might have been able to if you had played a little better. You can play the game on the computer by clicking on the button below. See the help pages for more details. |
