# Valentine

Written by Rosanna Yuen

## Setup

Type of Deck | Standard Deck
Stock | Top left pile. All remaining cards are placed here after dealing.
Waste | Top right pile. Can only hold one card.
Tableau | Four piles. One card is dealt in each slot at the beginning of the game. Redealing from the stock moves all cards currently in the Tableau to the bottom of the Stock slot.

## Goal

Have all the cards in the Tableau, each slot containing Ace to King of one suit. Avoid going crazy achieving this.

## Rules

If any two cards dealt on to the Tableau are the same suit and in sequence, place the lower card on to the higher. Aces are low, Kings are high and sequence does not wrap. Click on the Stock to fill in the empty slots that are made.

When no plays can be made in the Tableau, click on the Stock to deal a card on to the Waste. If this card can be played on to any of the Tableau piles, do so. Repeat this process until there are no more moves in the Tableau or from the Waste.

At this point, clicking on the Stock again moves all the cards in the Tableau back to the bottom of the Stock. The card in the Waste is put in the first Tableau pile and the rest of the Tableau is filled with one card to each pile from the Stock.

## Scoring

There is no scoring in this game.

## Strategy

A great game for killing time, Valentine really has no strategy, unless the strategy is to play it instead of doing other, more important things, like going to bed.
