FLOWER SOLITAIRE GAME

Flower Solitaireis essentially an open Klondike Solitaire game, where all the cards are open from the very beginning on the table. Let's take a closer look at the distribution. 52 cards of the standard deck are arranged in fans of 4 sheets each. All denominations are visible, but only the top cards of each fan are free to play. Please note that the picture cards here instead of the traditional images of Queens, Jacks and Kings, are drawn with flowers, so solitaire is called flower.

The task is inherited from Klondike Solitaire without changes: all cards must be moved to the bases (4 different slots on the top right). You need to add them there with the obligatory consideration of the suit and in ascending order of denominations (ranks), starting with aces. Thus, in flower Solitaire, the first cards in the base slots should be aces: spades, hearts, crosses and diamonds. On the aces are placed twos of the same suit, on them threes, then fours, and so on. The Kings complete the base piles.

Obviously, it is not possible to get all the required cards from the fans immediately after the hand is dealt to stack them on the bases in the specified sequence. To remove the desired sheet from the fan, they resort to the so-called shifting mechanism between the fans. See, the top cards can be moved from one fan to another, provided that the moved rank is one lower than the one you want to move it to. Also, when shifting, you need to alternate the color of the suit: only black can be shifted to the red suit and vice versa.

So, we found out that the nine of diamonds lying on top in one of the fans, say, can be shifted to another fan on the peak or cross ten lying on top again (i.e., open). You can move not only individual cards, but also entire stacks, although they are already ordered according to the above rules of cards.

It remains to add that the game is on time, for everything about everything, you have only 5 minutes, which is not so much for a complete disassembly of solitaire. That is why flower solitaire is recommended for those who already have some skills in disassembling Kerchiefs. It will be difficult for beginners.
