How to play Monte Carlo Solitaire

  1. 1Twenty-five cards are dealt face up in a square of five rows of five. The other 27 wait face down in the stock.
  2. 2Throw out any two cards of the same rank that touch: side by side, one above the other, or corner to corner.
  3. 3When you like, tap the stock to close the gaps: every card slides back to fill the holes, keeping its order left to right and row by row, and the stock deals new cards into the spaces left at the end.
  4. 4Closing the gaps brings new neighbours together, so think about which pairs to take before you close.
  5. 5Win by throwing out all 52 cards. The game ends when no pair touches and closing the gaps would change nothing.
