- **RED DEVIL**
-
- The aim of this patience is to manoeuvre the four Aces to the top of the
- Depots. (Single pack).
-
- 1 Deal out four cards in a row face up. These are the Base cards of the four
- Depots that will be formed. They occupy the positions into which the Aces must
- be manoeuvred. In all subsequent deals four cards will be laid face up, one on
- each Depot.
-
- 2 If there are two exposed cards of the same suit then remove the one with the
- lower value to the Rubbish Heap. Aces count high for this purpose. Repeat this
- until all remaining exposed cards belong to a different suit.
-
- 3 Deal four more cards face up from the Stock, left to right, one to each
- Depot. If an Ace is dealt onto a non-vacant Depot it may be moved immediately
- from that Depot to any Depot which is then still vacant, if any. The next card
- dealt takes its place on the first Depot so that four cards are still dealt
- out, one to each Depot.
-
- 4 Repeat stage 2. If one of the Depots becomes vacant and an Ace becomes
- exposed on any of the other Depots, the Ace may be moved into the vacant Depot
- and stage 2 repeated, if possible, followed by stage 3.
-
- 5 Continue until either the Aces are in their target positions, when the game
- is won, or the Stock becomes exhausted (with the Aces not in their target
- positions) when the game is lost. The Rubbish Heap is not re-used.
