are then discarded to leave four gaps. Two redeals are allowed.

<para>
|
|
Gaps in the leftmost column may be filled by moving a 2 of any suit
|
|
there. A gap to the right of any non-King card may be filled by placing
|
|
the card with the same suit but one rank higher into the gap. Gaps
|
|
following Kings or other gaps may not be filled.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Once a card is placed in a sequence starting with a 2 in the leftmost
|
|
slot, it can no longer be moved.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If no moves are possible (i.e., all gaps follow Kings),
|
|
double-clicking any card will cause a redeal. Any cards not in sequence
|
|
will be removed, shuffled, and redealt. Only two redeals are allowed.

Randomly Placed Gaps on Redeal: Check this to have randomly placed gaps
|
|
after a redeal. If unchecked, the gaps will always be placed directly to the
|
|
right of any cards already in sequence after redealing.
