Fifteen piles, arranged in rows of four. Deal cards four at a time, face
|
|
up onto the first thirteen piles. Leave the last two spaces empty.
|
|
A pile can hold as many as four cards, and as few as none.

<para>
|
|
Rearrange the cards so that each pile contains all four cards from a single
|
|
value. This should leave two piles empty, but it doesn't matter whether
|
|
they are the same piles which were empty at the start.

<para>
|
|
Cards can be moved on top of any other card or cards of the same value
|
|
so long as no pile grows to have more than four cards. Groups of cards
|
|
can be moved if they are of the same value, but it doesn't gain you
|
|
anything. An empty slot can be filled with any card or group of cards
|
|
with the same value.

|
|
Once a pile contains all four cards of the same value it is frozen, and
|
|
the top card is flipped to indicate that you need do nothing further
|
|
to those cards. They are no longer in play, but it would be useless to
|
|
move them anyway.

When a pile of four cards is frozen you score 4 points, one for each
|
|
card. There is no other way to score points.

<para>
|
|
Keep one of the piles clear as much as possible. Don't allow a pile of
|
|
three cards to build up on top of a single card, especially if the
|
|
final card from the set is not a bottom card in another pile.
