The rules of La Capricieue were first published in 1892 in England by Professor Hoffmann,[1] but did not appear in the US until 1939.
[2] Morehead & Mott-Smith adapted the name to Capricious, but David Parlett and Alphonse Moyse retain the original French name.
During dealing, one ace and one king of each suit is removed, all of which will form the foundations.
After dealing the first row, any Kings or Aces are taken as foundation cards, along with any cards that may be built onto them, the Kings being built down in suit sequence and the Aces up likewises.
Outside cards are those in the top row and those in the perpendicular columns on the far left and right of the tableau.
If the game chockers, the tableau cards are gathered up, shuffled and redealt as before.
