Nestor solitaire rules (1 deck of cards)<< Nationale | New York >>
Goal: Discard all cards in matching pairs.
8 piles are dealt 6 cards each, all face up. The last 4 cards are set aside, all available for play.
No pile will be dealt the same rank more than once.
Move any exposed card to another card if their ranks are the same. The two cards are discarded.
Also known as: Matrimony
Variations: Vertical
Some descriptions offer an alternate rule that leaves the last 4 cards in the deck, and turns them over one at a time. Some form a waste pile, and others state that each card must be played before turning over another.
