PySol - Rules for Montana

# Montana

Montana type. 1 deck. 2 redeals.

### Object

Group all the cards in sets of 12 cards in ascending sequence by suit from Two to King.

### Rules

This solitaire starts with the entire deck shuffled and dealt out in four rows. The Aces are then removed making 4 initial free spaces. You may move to a space only the card that matches the left neighbor in suit, and is one greater in rank. Kings are high, so no cards may be placed to their right (they create dead spaces).

When no moves can be made, cards still out of sequence are reshuffled and dealt face up after the ends of the partial sequences, leaving a card space after each sequence, so that each row looks like a partial sequence followed by a space, followed by enough cards to make a row of 13.

### Notes

Autodrop is disabled for this game.

### Strategy

A moment's reflection will show that this game cannot take more than 12 redeals. But only 2 redeals are allowed...

### History

This game is also known under names such as Gaps.
