**a. How to Play Monte Carlo Patience**
**-----------------------------------**
There are many variations of the game of Solitaire,
Monte Carlo Patience is one variation.
Each game round starts with twenty four cards dealt face
upwards to the board in four rows of six cards each.
The object of the game is to eliminate all 52 playing
cards. Any two cards of the same rank that touch each
other, either at the top or bottom, or at either side, or
at one of the four corners can be eliminated by clicking
on the two matching cards.
If you click on the 'DEAL' button, the lay-out of the
board is consolidated by closing up the rows from right
to left and from bottom to top.
The game is won if all 52 cards are eliminated.
