This is a simple but still fun and fairly challenging addition game.

Fifteen cards are dealt as the table, in a 5 by 3 grid.
All cards below 10 are low cards. All from ten and up are high cards.
You can mark a card by clicking on it.
If you mark two or more low cards with a sum of 15, they are removed.
If you mark all four of a kind of high cards, they are removed.
If you can remove all cards, you have won the game.

Don't waste low cards. They combine easier than high ones.

This game mimicks a Mac game by Phil Bush from 1988. The book "Lägga patiens" has this game (under the name "Summa femton") in a slightly different form; four by four cards instead of five by three. I think the five by three layout is better since it makes the game "15" in two ways – but the 4x4 version is, of course, easier!

Fifteens' closest relative in Solitaire House is probably King's Corner. Other addition games, like Pyramid, is more distant relatives in that they, too, discard cards that add to a specific sum.
