Memory Sequence

Also known as Ace Through King

Goal

Flip all of the cards in sequence from ace to king, and get a score of 75 or more.

How to play

At game start, all the cards of a single suit (spades in PySol) are dealt face-down. Cards can be flipped over one at a time, each card flipped over is worth 10 points, but if the next card is not one rank above the previous card, all are flipped face-down. If a card doesn't match, all of the points from that sequence are lost, and a 2 point penalty is applied.

The game is over when all cards have been flipped over in one sequence, from ace through king. A winning score is 75 points or more.
