At the bottom of one of the columns is a3 of Spades with a 2 of Spades right behind it.You may move the 3 of Spades to a Free Cellin order to free up the 2 of Spades. Once the2 of Spades is placed on the Ace of Spades,you can then place the 3 of Spades on top ofthe 2 of Spades.Remember, the object of the game is to moveall cards to the Home Cells using one of thethree legal moves. The game is lost whenthere are no more legal moves left to play.HINT: Before making your first move, keep aneye open for trouble areas such as aces at thetops of columns or low cards stacked behindhigh cards.If the game is lost, it can be replayed withoutaffecting your win percentage by pressing theREPLAY button then the ON / DEAL button.The cards will be dealt in exactly the sameorder as before.LEGAL MOVES1.
