Patience, frustrating flash card game.

I recently stumbled upon this little flash game, and it has made almost throw my computer across the room.

The object is to get the all the cards matched with their correct suit, in decreasing order.(King, Queen, Jack. Etc.) The catch is that you can only place the cards to the left of a lower higher amount.

Ex.

Say you have this board.

There is a 4 of spades with an empty space to its right. So, when can move the 3 of spades next to it.

Now, here the problem. The 2 of clubs on this board has an empty space next to it. Since two is the lowest value, nothing can be put in that space. Here lies the difficulty of the game. If all the twos get an empty space next to them, you lose, and have to restart the game. Lets continue this board.

We moved the 8 of diamonds next to the nine, leaving the 4 of hearts open.

Now the 2 of hearts has a empty space next to it, leaving only two space to work with for the time being. Continuing the game leads to a lost. Employing different strategies is key to win, and sometimes finding new ones while playing. I played four rounds in two hours, each resulting in losing with only a couple cards remaining to win.

Now, I hope you will try it out. Have fun, and don;t get to frustrated, have patience.

Ah yes, patience. I used to place this when I was extremely bored before I discovered video games/if I was away and had some cards and didn't know any other games.
Bad reading? I was just mentioning that I used to play the physical version of this.

Fuck I got 17 points before cornering myself.
