About the game
Calculation (also known as Broken Intervals, Hopscotch, and Four Kings Solitaire) is a solitaire card game played with a standard pack of 52 cards. It is part of the Sir Tommy family of patience games. It has its origin in France, where it is known as La Plus Belle.
Good strategy typically sees players use 6s, 8s, and Queens early and 10s, Jacks, and Kings later; clever placement of cards in the waste is also critical, with some players reserving one waste pile for the Kings.Information from Marquoir’s game database, which cross-checks several open sources.
