New Book of Days

This is probably not that groundbreaking but here’s how I play solitaire with real cards. This presumes you already know how to play solitaire say, on a computer. The smaller sets tend to fly all over the place so these are full size cards. There are five stacks to the right of the draw pile, stacked up with five facedown, then four facedown on the right four stacks, then three facedown on the right three stacks, til getting to one facedown on the rightmost stack. Flip over the top card of each of the five stacks, and use the bed to the left or the right for ace stacks. Then draw three cards from the deck and only draw from the top down of the draw pile. For the next draw, another three cards. Flipping over the draw pile is done until success in reaching all four stacks from ace to 2s or until there are no possible moves left. The hardest part is not fidgeting so the cards stay in more or less the same place til you move them. This game is also called Patience.
