The deck is held, face down, in the hand. One card at a time is flipped face up from the back of the deck. Once four cards are in play, the first and last card are of interest. If they are the same suit, the middle cards can be removed. If they are the same number, all four cards can be removed. Remove cards by placing them face up on the bottom of the deck. Continue playing by flipping over the last card from the back of the deck. Only the last four cards played can be used. The object of the game is to have 5 or less cards remaining in play. [[Category:Solitaire card games]] Note: When dealing the cards, flip them face up from the back of the deck, laying them on top of the previously dealt card. (The images show inserting the dealt card between the dealing deck and the up cards). It is much faster dealing this way and produces the same outcome, always looking at the top 4 cards of the face up cards. {{card-game-stub}}
