Auld Lang Syne

Patience

For 1 Player - Level: Very difficult

Layout: Deal out all four Aces in a row. Underneath each one, deal a card. These cards are the stock from which you are going to build.

To win the game: Build the Aces up to Kings, regardless of suit.

Play: When you've finished all the moves you can make with the first set of four cards, deal another row of four right on top of them. Keep going until the stock is exhausted.

Tam O'Shanter

Level: Almost impossible

Play in exactly the same way as Auld Lang Syne, except don't put the Aces up first. Just wait until they show up in the deal.
