Rules of the Game

The aim of the game is to end up with no cards on the board.  Each turn, one card is dealt from the pack of cards to the top of the board.  For card removal the card on the top and the fourthmost card on the top are examined.  If these cards are the same sort, the two cards between them can be removed.  If these cards have the same value, the two cards between them and the cards themselves can be removed.  After the pack of cards is empty, the card on the bottom can be dealt to the top and so forth.  When no cards can be removed from the board at all, the game is lost.


Dealing a Card

Cards can always be dealt by choosing the Deal a Card button.  If there are cards left in the pack of cards, a card can also be dealt by clicking on the pack of cards.  If there are no cards left in the pack of cards the bottom card on the board can be dealt to the top by clicking on it.


Removing a Card

Cards can be removed by choosing the Remove Cards button or by clicking the top card on the board.
