Shuffling Patience
# Layout
First, the King and the Queen of Hearts are selected. Then the cards are roughly shuffled and the King is placed as the first card and the Queen as the last card on or under the stock The talon is the name given to the face-down stack of cards at the start of the game, from which, after being laid out, there are still cards left over that are used for the rest of the game. This packing of cards is also known as a block or draw pile.
# Objective
The patience has been successful if at the end of the game the King of Hearts lies next to the Queen of Hearts and the “marriage” has thus practically taken place.

The face-down stock The talon is the name given to the face-down stack of cards at the start of the game, from which, after being laid out, there are still cards left over that are used for the rest of the game.

This packing of cards is also known as a block or draw pile.
From now on, the card placed last in the horizontal row and the third card before it (from the right) must always be kept in view. If these two cards are of the same value or of the same suit, for example a 2 of Clubs and a 2 of Hearts or a 8 of Hearts and an Ace of Hearts, the two cards between them are removed.
The last and third card to the right are compared.
Then the last placed card is pushed up to the row. If four or more cards are laid out, it must be checked again whether the last and third card from the right match. This is repeated until the stock is used up.
Two cards were removed and new ones were added.
Here even 2x2 cards could be removed after a new possibility arose through the check.
If it did not succeed the first time that at the end only the King of Hearts and the Queen of Hearts are left, the remaining cards of the horizontal row are well shuffled and the stock is gone through again. The King of Hearts is again the first card and the Queen of Hearts is the last. This may be done three times, but it can also be tried more often if it still hasn’t worked.
