Not sure about the Jacks strategy. Are you aware that after you play Jacks or Queens onto the foundations the spaces they vacate can be filled with other ones? Richard. Richard Mechen (Richardscotland) Intermediate Solitaire Player Username: Richardscotland Post Number: 44 Registered: 9-2006 Posted on Sunday, October 22, 2006 - 6:09 am:    Hi Paul, Here it's down to 10. Hope you may learn something from this. It's so frustrating when you have won it already, when you can't repeat. Also note that Kings can be played onto Aces, Richard. Part solved Boudoir.

BE VERY CAREFUL it registers a WIN at 96 and doesn't give you a chance to play the remaining cards to foundations.

Looks like the PGS software has a conscience and has awarded us a moral victory. I'd not worry unduly it the software in a bank Autoteller insisted in overpaying me. You've got a gold medal, rejoice! Scotland For Ever. Richard. Larry Dale (Lars) New Solitaire Player Username: Lars Post Number: 1 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Monday, October 30, 2006 - 7:43 am:    I have a minor quibble with the winning solution posted for Boudoir. It seems the software recognizes a win at the score of 96, however the solution above would not lead to a win according to the objective in the rules. Here is a solution that would accomplish the objective. Boudoir put in its proper bed Boudoir_1398261376 lars.pgs (5.7 k) Richard Mechen (Richardscotland) Advanced Solitaire Player Username: Richardscotland Post Number: 92 Registered: 9-2006 Posted on Monday, October 30, 2006 - 1:07 pm:    Hi Larry, Glad you said "minor" quibble. Having found this particular game and spent hours on it and advanced it to a degree that others could tinker with it to make an extremely small amendment, I still claim the first VERIFIABLE win for Boudoir. How many players would have given up on it and started another game? You will note that Paul Forsdick spent 6 hours on it and still didn't get the winning music. Anyway WE'VE cracked it, and I for one am glad to see the back of it. Richard. Richard Mechen (Richardscotland) Advanced Solitaire Player Username: Richardscotland Post Number: 94 Registered: 9-2006 Posted on Monday, October 30, 2006 - 3:05 pm:    Back again, Just for the record,my stats show a win for this game for 13th Aug 2005, and until I posted the number more than a year later, no-one else appears to have done likewise. Richard.
