Rules

Object of the game: Discard all the cards from the stock to a single pile on the tableau.

One by one, take cards from the stock and place them to the right of the first card, forming a horizontal line.
If two cards of the same rank or the same suit are side by side, place the one to the right on top of the one to the left. This also applies when you have two cards of the same rank or suit, with two cards between them. For example: in the above illustration, the first card dealt was a 3 of diamonds followed by a 7 of diamonds, a 10 of clubs and a 4 of diamonds. The 4 of diamonds can be played over the 3 of diamonds, then the 7 of diamonds over the 4 of diamonds.
No redeals are allowed.
