PLAYING THE CARD GAME PIRATE GOLD

(1 deck)

Deal 10 cards face up on the table. You may place them in any convenient array, such as two rows of 5 each. Now, if any two of these cards are a pair (two Kings, two 5's, etc.), cover each with another face-up card from the deck. Continue in the same way, dealing cards so as to cover all the pairs you see.

To Win the Game you must succeed in dealing out the whole deck.

The game comes out most of the time, but once in a while you will find yourself blocked, all ten cards in sight being of different ranks. In fact, when I played the game as a boy, I turned it around and considered that I won it only if a block arose and so I did not have to deal out the whole deck to cover all the pairs.
