Beleaguered Castle

Beleaguered Castle is also called Laying Siege and Sham Battle.

[5] Beleaguered Castle is first recorded by Dick in 1883 and has been a regular feature in games compendia since then.

[6] First, the player removes the aces from the deck and aligns them vertically without overlapping them to form the foundations.

Then cards are dealt to the left and right of the aces, forming eight rows of six overlapping cards each, in a distinctive tableau layout with wings on either side of the foundations.

In the 2011 film Source Code, a card sequence from Beleaguered Castle forms the call sign for the Source Code program.
