Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo Solitaire is a straightforward, mostly luck-based solitaire game played with a standard 52-card deck. The game starts by dealing a 5x5 grid of 25 cards, with the remaining cards forming a draw pile. The objective is to remove pairs of cards with the same rank (such as two 7s or two Queens) that are adjacent horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. When no more pairs can be removed, the cards are gathered, new cards are dealt into tableau, and play continues. The game is won if all cards are removed, though this is challenging as luck heavily influences success.
