23 Skidoo

Goal

Compress the entire deck into two piles.

At a glance

Like Accordion, but you only move cards if they are separated by one or two cards, not if they are right next to each other.

Because of this, the game is won when there are only two piles left (it is impossible to get only one pile under these rules).

Base game rules: Accordion

Goal

Remove all cards but one to a single pile.

How to play

Cards are dealt from the stock in a sequence. If two cards of the same suit or rank are next to each other, or separated by exactly two cards, the card that is further to the left (in PySol, this is the card that is further from the deck) may be moved on top of the other.

The game is won when only one card remains.
