How to Play Double Trouble Solitaire

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Antonia Hoyland, on behalf of Expert Village. This game is called Double Trouble. For this game, you need a regular pack of cards, no jokers. Deal out a three-by-four square, four cards deep. The first three cards, need to be face down, while the top card is face up. You're going to have four cards left, so lay them aside face down, as a reserve packet. In this game, only the values are considered, not the suites. You're trying to eliminate pairs. Naturally, trios wouldn't work, as that would leave an extra card that couldn't be partnered up with anything else. When you find a pair, remove them from the table, and then flip up the next card on the pile. When one of the packets gets totally used up, you use a card from the reserve pile that you made before to fill it. Although this game takes a moderate amount of time to set up, it's fast-paced, which makes it worth it. This game is especially good with younger players, as it's simple to match up the cards in pairs, and there's a relatively high chance of winning, although victory is not always assured."
