Play and never win!!!

This is a card game to be played alone. It goes on pure luck and it is very difficult to get to win.

The game is very easy. It is played with a deck of 40 cards. You can use the Italian cards (40 cards deck) or any other 40 cards deck with 4 different seeds. If you use the French cards you can take out the figures and play with the numbers from 1 to 10.

The game starts uncovering on the table the first 2 cards of the deck and compare them. If they are of the same number (but different seeds) you have to eliminate both of them from the game. If they are of the same seed (then of different numbers) you have to eliminate the lower card. If they are of different seeds AND numbers then you cannot eliminate any of them.

You can lay the eliminated cards on a deck aside. Yuo won't need them anymore until the next game.

Once you compare the first 2 cards you have to lay 2 more cards on top of them and compare them. You have to lay 2 cards straight away, you don't have to lay one card on top of the left one and compare it with the one on the right and after add another card on top of the right one and compare it with the left one.

Again, you have to compare the cards and eliminate one, two or no card. If you chance to aliminate one or two cards, you hve to compare the two cards left on the top of the 2 decks and eliminate them if necessary.

When you can't eliminate any card anymore, put 2 new cards on top of the two decks. Again, compare, eliminate, compare again and lay 2 more cards.

Keep going until yuo have no more cards in your hands. At that stage, you are left with two decks in front of you. Put the left deck on top of the right one, turn them over and start again uncovering the first two cards and comparing them.

Go ahead until you can eliminate cards, uncovering, comparing, eliminating, comparing again, topping and turning over.

You win when you are left with no cards both in your hands and on the table (when you eliminate all cards).
