row, a 2 must be available to replace it. The game is considered won when all the cards are in foundations, with all face cards on top. Royal Parade Royal Parade is another solitaire card game which is played much the same way as Virginia Reel, and is a classic two-deck game with alternative names Financier, Hussars, and Three Up. It is the original game on which Albert H. Morehead and Geoffrey Mott-Smith based Virginia Reel, which they created as an improvement on Royal Parade. One difference between Royal Parade and Virginia Reel is that in Royal Parade when a card is moved from anywhere in the tableau, the gap it leaves behind does not have to be filled right away, but can be filled later by a card appropriate for the row that the gap is located in. Several variants of both games exist, most of which adjust how the reserve works, e.g. allowing empty spaces in the reserve to be filled with other cards.
