-
- Monte Carlo is a solitaire card game. The objective of the game is to
- remove all the cards from the tableau.
-
- The computer will deal five rows of five cards each. The player
- discards cards in pairs of the same rank, provided the two cards of the
- pair are adjacent in a row, a column, or a diagonal. The removal of a
- card does not make the two cards beside it "adjacent".
-
- After removing all possible pairs, the computer will consolidate the
- tableau. That is, it will back up the remaining cards so as to make
- the rows solid as far as the cards go, from top down. The computer will
- keep the cards in the same order as they were dealt, reading from left
- to right and from the top row down. That is it will push the cards in
- the highest incomplete row leftward, then fill out the row with cards
- taken one-by-one from the left end of the row below, then dealing cards
- from the deck so as to fill it out to 25 cards, and resume play.
-
- After the card deck is exhausted, the computer will consolidate the
- tableau each time all possible plays have been made.
