PySol - Rules for The Bogey

# The Bogey

One-Deck game type. 1 deck. Unlimited redeals.

### Object

Move all cards to the columns.

### Rules

Deal five cards to your hand. Cards in your hand may be either moved to one of twelve columns, discarded, or held. Any card can be played to an empty column, but if a column is not empty, only a card of the same suit but a lower rank can be played on the column.

When you are finished moving cards from your hand, draw one card from the talon - this is the Bogey's card. You must immediately play this card to one of the columns. If you cannot do so, the game is lost. Once the Bogey's card has been played, draw cards from the talon until you have a new five card hand, and then you can play these cards as before.

When the talon is empty, the discarded cards are shuffled to form a new talon, and play continues until you get stuck by one of the Bogey's cards, or you win by moving all cards to the columns.

### Notes

The goal of The Bogey is to get all the cards in as few columns as possible. Though the maximum you are allowed to win the game is 12, you can get a better score by using even fewer columns:

- Novice: 12 columns
- Normal: 11 columns
- Advanced: 10 columns
- Legendary: 9 columns
- Epic: 8 columns

### History

The Bogey was invented by Katharine Turner.
