Gaps solitaire rules (1 deck of cards)<< Frog (Open) | Gargantua >>

Goal: Form 4 same-suit sequences from two to king.

An entire deck of cards is dealt out in 4 rows of 13 cards each, and the aces are removed. Cards are played into the gaps left by the aces, leaving a new gaps in their place.

To play a card into a gap, it must rank one higher than the card to the left, and match the same suit. The start of a row can be filled with any deuce (two). You can not play to a gap after a king, as there is no next higher rank.

2 redeals are allowed. Cards that are not in sequence are gathered, shuffled, and redealt. The first available pile of each row is left empty, to become the new gaps.
