Spoke to John Fernandez' wife (they drove in with a huge load of S.P.I. games yesterday) and solitaire card games came up. I told her about my COMBINATION. She told me of a GAME she likes a lot.
Use an entire deck. All cards are their pip value. Pictures are 10. Deal out 7 cards face up, then another 7 on top with the lower cards visible. Continue this way. When three cards on pile that are next to each other, or two on the top and one on the bottom, or one on the top and two on the bottom, that add up to a multiple of 10, they are removed. When a pile is cleared by removal of 3 cards, it is not replaced. Win by getting rid of all cards.
