Batsford is a solitaire card game similar to Klondike except that it uses two decks instead of one. The cards are turned up one at a time during a single pass through the deck, and there is also a reserve pile available for a single King.
The object of this game is to move all cards to the foundations. There are eight foundations that build up from Ace to King in suit, (e.g. Aâ£, 2â£, 3â£, 4â£...)
There are ten dêpôts in the tableau ranging from one to ten cards long, and which build down in alternating colors, (e.g. 10â , 9<span style="color:red;">âÂÂ¥</span>, 8â , 7<span style="color:red;">â¦</span>...) Cards in the tableu can be moved to a foundation or onto another tableau stack. Only a King can be moved to an empty space.
The layout also includes a single reserve pile where a single King can be held.
The stock is turned up one card up at a time. The topmost card can be moved to the foundations or the tableau. Only one pass is allowed through the deck, making this an extremely hard game to win.
