Salic Law solitaire rules (2 decks of cards)<< Russian Solitaire | San Juan Hill >>
Goal: Move out the aces when you can and build them up to jack in any suit.
The first pile of the layout is dealt a king. Turn up 1 card at a time from the deck, playing it if you can, or adding it to the king pile. If a king turns up, it is used to begin a new pile.
There is no building on these piles. The top card of each pile is available for building onto the ace piles. Queens that turn up are placed into another row.
Once the deck has been depleted, an exposed king is treated like an empty space, allowing any card onto it. This allows buried cards to be released.
A winning game shows a row of queens, jacks, and kings.
Variations: Faerie Queen, Intrigue
Eight Away is another game that follows the style of starting a new pile as each king turns up. It's a completely different game though, and deals all the cards before any building begins.
