When you throw, practice staying conscious. In Solitaire, the opposing player never protests because you’re taking too long. Before you point, mentally pick out some feature of the terrain- a twig, a pebble, a shadow, a hump or dip in the ground- and use it to mark your intended donnée.ĭon’t worry about taking time to think things through. Think about strategy- What is the best throw in this particular situation? Is there a slope in the ground that you must compensate for? Decide exactly what you want to try to do. Each time before you throw, stop for a moment to think and plan. Don’t just step into the circle and throw. Solitaire is good for practicing “conscious” play.

Although he will shoot when forced to, in a tight situation he much prefers to try to out-point Black. Silver is a careful, conservative player.The trick to making solitaire fun and a learning experience is to give the two players two different playing styles.
Then play against yourself as if you are two different players- black against silver. Start with two distinctive sets of boules - a black set, say, and a silver set. Solitaire is a good way to practice playing under real-world conditions.
