Addiction Solitaire

Introduction

Addiction Solitaire is a card game played with a standard 52-card deck. Unlike other Solitaire variations, this game requires players to arrange the cards following specific rules with restricted movement options.

How to Play

Initial Setup

• The deck is laid out into four rows, each containing thirteen cards.
• Aces are removed from the layout, creating four empty spaces.

Objective

• Players must arrange the cards in each row from 2 to K, ensuring all cards in a row are of the same suit.

Moving Cards

• A card can move into an empty space if it follows the card to its left in both rank and suit.
• Example: 4 of hearts can be placed to the right of 3 of hearts or to the left of 5 of hearts.
• Any 2 can be placed in the far-left column, setting the suit for that row.

Movement Restrictions

• No card can be moved to the right of a K.
• Players have a maximum of three shuffles to rearrange the misplaced cards.

Tips for Completing the Game

Make Effective Use of Empty Spaces

• Empty spaces on the left are very important as they allow for more flexibility when moving cards.
• Avoid placing unnecessary cards into empty spaces.

Plan Your Moves

• Without a clear plan, cards can easily become locked in place.
• Try to move 2s into the leftmost positions early to set up the rows correctly.

Use Shuffling Wisely

• Shuffle only when absolutely necessary, as you have only three attempts.
• If shuffling does not improve the situation, consider stopping to avoid losing control of the game.

Winning Conditions

• The game is won when all four rows are arranged in order from 2 to K, with each row having the same suit.
• Aces are placed at the end once all rows are completed.
