Hide and Seek
# Layout
In the patience Hide and Seek, two horizontal rows of six cards each are laid out face up. Here, four cards are always laid out as an open packet. The remaining four cards are laid out face down next to the rows as their own packet.
# Objective
The patience is solved when at the end, counted from top left to bottom right, the card packets each contain four cards of equal value, for example Ace, Ace, Ace and Ace as the first packet and the Queens as the last packet at the bottom right, and the 13th packet contains the four Kings.
# Gameplay
You take the top card from the first packet and place it face up under the packet of its value. Here, the two rows are counted from top left to bottom right from 1 to 12. Here 11 stands for Jack and 12 for Queen. A King goes on the packet next to the rows.
Then you take the top card from the packet under which you just placed the card and place it under the packet with the corresponding value. You repeat this over and over.
Whether the patience succeeds is luck-dependent. It can also happen more often that you push a card under a packet which then has four of the same values, so that the top card can only be pushed under the same packet.
