Birthday

In the patience game called Birthday, you always think of a different number and lay out the cards accordingly.

# Layout

Think of a four-digit number that contains no 0, in our example 1982. Then, before shuffling the cards, select the next higher number in four different suits and place these four cards in a horizontal row, so in our example it would be 2, 10, 9 and 3.

# Objective

As the name suggests, the desired four-digit number should come out at the end of the patience and lie on top.

# Gameplay

The stock is gone through up to four times in total and each time it is checked whether a subsequent card can be placed in ascending order in the same suit. The top card of the discard pile may be used. If the desired number has not been created by then, the Birthday has not succeeded.
