Sticko

One deck type. 1 stripped deck. No redeal.

Object

Move all the cards to the foundation in a single sequence.

Rules

Sticko is played with a deck of only 32 cards, including the 7 through ace of each suit.

Sixteen cards are dealt out to a "hand", and one card is moved to the foundation as a starter. Cards can be moved from this hand to the foundation, if it meets one of the following rules:

• The card is one rank higher than the card on top of the foundation, and of the same suit.
• The card is one rank lower than the card on top of the foundation,
• The card is the same rank as the card on top of the foundation, and of the opposite color.

A card is dealt from the stock to replace each card moved to the foundation. The game is won if the entire deck is moved to the foundation in a single sequence.

Notes

Sticko is a one player variation of the multiplayer card game Stucco, invented by David Parlett.
