You win when the tableau piles are all gone.

How to play

The object is to use up all the cards from the tableau by discarding pairs of cards of the same rank.

You can only put a card on top of another card when the two cards are touching horizontally, vertically or diagonally (i.e. the cards have to be neighbours).

When no more moves are possible, select the talon. The cards will be shifted up and the empty spaces at the bottom will be filled.

You win when the tableau piles are all gone.
