High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Octave is a solitaire card game which is played with two decks of playing cards. It has the unusual game because it aims to fulfill two objectives at the same time: To build the eight foundations to the tens, while trying to form under each foundation a column of a king, a queen, and a jack in alternating colors. First, eight overlapping columns of three cards are dealt. The bottom two cards of each column are dealt face down while the top card is placed face up. This is the tableau. When the aces turn up, they are placed on the foundations, each built up by suit to tens. Placing the aces is a bit unusual because they should be placed in a row in alternating colors. So if a black ace appears, a red ace should be the one to be placed beside it. The top cards in the tableau are available to build on the foundations or on each other. Tableau cards are built down by alternating colors. Spaces in the tableau can be filled with any available card, but the player must keep in mind as possible the second objective of forming columns each composed of a king, a queen, and a jack in alternating colors.
