Accordion Solitaire Rules: Dealing Cards

Video Transcript

"You know this is what the game looks like for typical solitaire. This is your tableau, and the unplayed cards are the stock. Well accordion is very different. You know typically in solitaire we have a tableau, a stock, a waste pile, and a foundation. Like we said, accordion is different. Let's do a quick shuffle there, and look at this. When you start a hand of accordion, this is it, that's accordion. Now when you play you put a card onto the tableau, that's accordion. This is how you deal it, the rules are you can move a card onto the next card if it's equal in suit or rank. This is neither so we have to play another card. That doesn't work out, so we have to play another card. Now again these cards are not similar or same in suit or rank, so I must play another. But there's something interesting, if say we had a heart here, and the card that came out third was a heart, I could jump. So you could play like that or you could play like that. And that's for suits or rank, and that is accordion."
