Solitaire Lorenzo

The Setup:

Solitaire Lorenzo uses a standard 52 card deck, the basic game does not make use of jokers. However, there is a variant described below in which the jokers are used. First deal the cards in a 3x3 grid so there are 9 stacks of cards. The four corners, position A, are composed of 4 cards face down. The other four edges, position B, have one card face down and one card face up. The center, position C, has 2 cards face down and one card face up. In total 27 cards are dealt in the 3x3 formation, and 25 cards are left in the stack.

The Goal:

The object of the game is to use all cards from the remaining stack of 25 cards. In order to win all 25 cards must be played in the 3x3 grid.

The Play:

Cards may only be played on a card that is 2 away from its value independent of the suit. For example, a 4 may only be played on a 2 or a 6. On a Queen, either an Ace or a 10 may be played. The Ace is the wraparound card, meaning that on an Ace either a 3 or Queen may be played.
