How to play
Discard all fifty-two cards by matching every card to its called rank before the final pass ends.
- The deck begins in stock with an empty waste and the called rank set to Ace; two ordered redeals permit three total passes.
- Expose one stock card and advance the call to the next rank. When the exposed card equals the current called rank it may be removed; unmatched cards remain in waste for the next pass.
- Discard all fifty-two cards by matching every card to its called rank before the final pass ends.
Strategy tips
- Record where near-matches occur so later passes begin with an expectation of which call will reach them.
- Losing track of whether the call advances before or after a deal causes incorrect predictions for the entire waste order.
- On the third pass, count the remaining waste positions modulo thirteen to identify whether every card still has a possible match.
