Monte Carlo is a solitaire card game. The objective of the game is to
remove all the cards from the tableau.

The computer will deal five rows of five cards each. The player
discards cards in pairs of the same rank, provided the two cards of the
pair are adjacent in a row, a column, or a diagonal. The removal of a
card does not make the two cards beside it "adjacent".

After removing all possible pairs, the computer will consolidate the
tableau. That is, it will back up the remaining cards so as to make
the rows solid as far as the cards go, from top down. The computer will
keep the cards in the same order as they were dealt, reading from left
to right and from the top row down. That is it will push the cards in
the highest incomplete row leftward, then fill out the row with cards
taken one-by-one from the left end of the row below, then dealing cards
from the deck so as to fill it out to 25 cards, and resume play.

After the card deck is exhausted, the computer will consolidate the
tableau each time all possible plays have been made.
