Solitaire Rules
-
The Q is dealt face up and the K is placed at the bottom of the deck.
-
Deal the cards to the right of the Q in a horizontal row by clicking on the
stock.
-
Eliminate one card or two adjacent cards if it is (they are) between a pair of cards of the same
suit or rank. For example:
-
10 Q 3 5 A 3
Since the 3 and the 3 are of the same
rank, the 5 and the A are eliminated, leaving 4 cards:
-
10 Q 3 3
The 10 and the 3 are of the same suit, so the Q and the 3 are eliminated, leaving only 2 cards:
-
10 3
-
If more than two cards lie between a matching pair they cannot be removed, unless they are all of the same
suit, in which case they all go out. For example:
-
J 7 10 A 2 5 6 K 7
All the Hearts between the 10 and 7 can be eliminated, leaving 4 cards:
-
J 7 10 7
The 10 would the be alone between the 7 and the 7, so the 10 could be eliminated, leaving 3 cards:
-
J 7 7
-
The game is won if, after the entire deck is dealt out, King and his Queen are side by side, other cards having been discarded.
-
There is no redeal.
