| Two-handed Bulgarian Solitaire |
| Inventor: Tim Bancroft, 2004 |
| Ranks: n/a |
| Sowing: Reverse |
| Region: USA |
Two-handed Bulgarian Solitaire was invented in 2004 by Tim Bancroft, a senior mathematics major at Augsburg College, Minneapolis (Minnesota), USA. He has studied under the direction of research advisor Prof. Su Dorée. The game was presented at the AMS/MAA Joint meetings in Phoenix, Arizona, January 2004. It grew out of a puzzle from Discrete Mathematical Structures class. The game, using reverse sowing, is a two-person variant of Bulgarian Solitaire.
Rules
The game is played with coins arranged in piles. Each player owns a separate group of piles.
At each turn a player removes the top coin from each pile, possibly eliminating piles.
Then he gives that collected pile of coins to the other player.
The game ends when a previously encountered arrangement is repeated.
