Base6 Accordion Solitaire

Objective: Collapse all 78 cards into a single stack by following Base6 matching rules.

Setup:

• Shuffle the 78-card Base6 standard deck.
• Deal two rows of 5 cards each (total of 10 cards).
• Keep the remaining cards as a draw pile.

Gameplay Rules:

You may move a card onto another card to the left or upward if it matches:

• Suit (color)
• Rank (number or face card)

Valid Moves:

• Move a card onto its immediate left neighbor or directly above it if it matches in suit or rank.
• Move stacks of cards as a unit if the top card follows the movement rule.

Shifting Mechanism (Auto-Fill Rows):

• After each move, shift all remaining cards to the left to fill gaps.
• If a row has fewer than 5 cards, move the next available card from the next row up to complete it.
• If a row is emptied, the last card in play will start a new row at the end of the previous row.
• Flip a new card from the draw pile to the rightmost open space to maintain 5 cards per row.

Adding More Cards:

• If no moves are available, deal a new row of 5 cards from the draw pile.
• Continue this process until all 78 cards are in play.

Winning & Losing Conditions:

• Win by collapsing all 78 cards into a single stack.
• Lose if all 78 cards are dealt and multiple stacks remain without valid moves.

Strategy Tips:

• Plan ahead to avoid unnecessary row additions.
• Use shifting mechanics strategically to bring useful cards forward.
• Move stacks carefully to control the order of cards and set up future plays.
