I have two questions about moving cards from one post pile to another that the rules don't address, and I would appreciate some official clarification so that I can share the answer with other gamers.
The rules state that you can build on a post pile in descending order with alternating boy/girl cards, and that to do this you can play a card from your blitz pile, your wood pile, or
another post pile. The example for moving from another post pile shows moving a single card from a post pile consisting of just one card onto another post pile (e.g. a 4 onto a 5). But how about these two situations:
1. Moving a stack from one post pile onto another post pile - for example:
Post Pile 1: Red 10
Post Pile 2: Yellow 9, Blue 8, Yellow 7
May I legally move the entire stack of three cards (with Yellow 9 on the bottom) from Post Pile 2 onto the Red 10 on Post Pile 1?
2. Moving a single card from the bottom of a stack onto another post pile - for example:
Post Pile 2: Yellow 9, Blue 8, Yellow 7
Post Pile 3: Red 8
May I legally move the Yellow 7 from Post Pile 2 onto the Red 8 on Post Pile 3, so that I can get access to and play the Blue 8?
Or is the only time you may move a card from one post pile to another when that post pile consists of a single card only?
As long as you maintain the boy, girl sequence, you can make the move that you described.
