What's the Deal? Trivia Quiz

Answer: Klondike Solitaire

In Klondike Solitaire, as pictured, moving cards from column to column requires red cards to be placed on black cards and vice versa. The cards also must be placed in the proper order, for instance 9 would be placed on 10. Other versions of Solitaire include Spider, Tri-Peaks, and Free Cell.

Answer: Free Cell

This version of solitaire requires placing cards in order Ace to King into the foundation at the top of the table. The catch is, only a certain number of cards can be moved at a time. The number of cards that can be moved at one time depend on how many "free cells" are available. Since the deal is always random, not every game can be won.

Answer: Hearts

Hearts is the suit from which most of the points are collected. Each Heart suit card is worth one point. The other card that has points attached is the Queen of Spades, which is worth 13 points. Hearts cannot be led unless it is the only suit remaining in a player's hand.

They can also be played on a trick led with a separate suit that cannot be followed. If one player collects all point cards, they are "shooting the moon," which gives that player zero points and all three other players receive 26 points.

The game ends when one player reaches 100 points.

Answer: War

Both players flip over the top card in their stack. The player with the higher card wins both cards. If the cards are the same, each player places one of their cards face down, then plays a card face up. The higher card wins all four cards for their stack. Any additional ties are played the same way until someone wins the "war."

Answer: Euchre

In euchre, games are played with partners. The face up card dealt at the end of the deal is the possible trump card. If someone wants that card to be trump, it is picked up by the dealer. If not, one of the other three suits is chosen as trump. Once trump is chosen, the highest card is the Jack of the trump suit.

The second highest is the Jack of the same color as the trump suit. For example, if Diamonds is trump, the Jack of Diamonds is the highest card, and the Jack of Hearts is the second highest card.

After that, the cards go in order from Ace to Nine. The two non-trump suits are ordered Ace to Nine as well.

Answer: Tri-Peaks Solitaire

The card face up at the bottom of the field is the card that determines which cards can be removed. The cards underneath another card cannot be played until the card on top of them is removed. If no card can be played, the next card on the deck is revealed. The player wins if the field is cleared and loses if the deck is emptied with no more moves to make.

Answer: Blackjack

The goal in blackjack is to get as close to 21 points as possible without going over, or "busting." Face cards are worth 10, aces are worth either one or 11, and the rest of the cards are worth their face value. Getting dealt an Ace and a face card is called a "blackjack." The player can see their cards and can request additional cards until they are satisfied with their score.

The catch is, the dealer only has one card visible to the player, so the player has no idea what the dealer's other card is until the player's score has been decided.

Answer: Spades

Starting with 13 cards each, players take tricks, following suit when possible. Spades is the trump suit for every hand, and players receive points for the number of tricks they take based on the bid. The first player or team to 500 points wins.

Answer: Rummy

Players can play sets of three or more cards (same number), or sequences, or runs, (same suit in order) of three cards or more. Each turn requires picking up a card to start and finishing the turn by discarding a card. Once a player has their sets or runs in place in front of them, they can "lay off" additional cards that match the set or run's requirements.

Upon a player discarding all cards, points are tallied to the winner of the hand. The other players count the "pips" on each card, and the winner gets those points. The pips are the number that represents the card in the hand (2,3,4, etc.). Face cards are worth 10 points, all other cards are worth their face value. If a player goes out by discarding all cards in one turn without having any sets or runs previously, the point values are doubled.

Answer: Pyramid Solitaire

The field of cards in Pyramid Solitaire are matched up to equal 13. That means face cards have their own value. Ace to Ten have value equal to the number on the card. Jacks are 11, Queens are 12, and Kings are 13, and therefore the only card that need not be matched with another. Like Tri-Peaks, the game is won by clearing the field, and the game is lost if the cards in the deck are emptied with no remaining moves.
