Biggar"] Modern solitaire card game books often list this game under the name [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accordion_(card_game) Accordion]. If you have the space (i.e. 4 ft surface) you can alternatively first lay out all 24 tiles in a row and then try to gather them into stacks---this variant isn't actually prohibited by ["Mark A. Biggar"]'s version of the rules (i.e. you don't have to make a move before drawing a tile). Some solitaire card game books list easier win conditions than a single stack of cards (e.g. five or fewer stacks of cards) since it is so difficult to get it down to one stack (<1%) although the piecepack version should be easier since there are fewer tiles then a normal deck of cards. -- TrevorLDavis ---- CategoryGame SolitairePuzzlesCategory
