Monte Carlo

Objective

The goal is to discard all pairs of cards of the same rank (e.g., two Kings, two 7s) until the entire deck is cleared.

Game Setup

• Tableau: Cards are dealt face up into a 5x5 grid (25 cards).
• Stock: The remaining cards are kept face down.

How to Play

• Remove Pairs: You can remove a pair of cards if they have the same rank and are adjacent horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
• Consolidate: After removing all possible pairs, the remaining cards are shifted up and to the left to fill the gaps, maintaining their relative order.
• Refill: Deal new cards from the stock to fill the empty spaces at the end of the grid (bottom right) to restore the 5x5 layout.
• Game Over: The game ends when the stock is empty and no more pairs can be removed.
