Featured Game - Persimmon
Persimmon is a new game in version 20.0 of Pretty Good Solitaire for Windows. In this video I explain how to play Persimmon: How to Play Persimmon.
Persimmon is a one deck game of the Klondike type. There are the usual four foundation piles, which are built up in suit from Ace to King. The game is won when all of the cards have been moved here.
There are seven tableau piles which are built down by alternate color as in Klondike. Move groups of cards if they are in sequence down by alternate color. Spaces are filled with Kings or groups of cards headed by a King. At the start of the game one card is dealt to the first pile, two cards to the 2nd, and so on. The top card is face up.
There is a stock pile face down in the top left. Turn over this pile three cards at a time to a waste pile by clicking during the first deal, two cards at a time during the 2nd deal, and one card at a time during the last deal. There are two redeals. This is like the game Gold Rush.
Finally, there are two reserve piles. In the upper reserve pile (to the left of stock) the top card always available for play on the tableau or foundations. At the start of the game seven cards are dealt here. In the lower reserve pile ( to the left of tableau), every card is available for play. Click on card to move it to the bottom of the stack, then move to either the foundations or tableau. At the start of the game nine cards are dealt face up to this pile. This is like the game Flower Garden or Northwest Territory.
Persimmon is an original game I invented for the 25th anniversary edition of Pretty Good Solitaire. Currently there are very few player stats for the game on the online scores site, so you can see if you can do better than the current near 25% average. You probably can.
