<h1>Perseverance</h1>
<h3>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3>
<p>Perseverance is a solitaire card game played with a deck of 52
playing cards. The reason is not known for the name is not known,
but probably, the player must play this game with perseverance to
succeed.</p>
<p>First, the four aces are taken out of the deck. These form the
four foundations.</p>
<p>Then the rest are shuffled and dealt into twelve piles of four
cards each. One can distribute one card at a time for each pile or
deal four cards at a time to form a pile.</p>
<p>The top cards of each pile are available for play to the
foundations or on the tableau piles. The foundations are built up
by suit, with the cards on the tableau are built down, also by
suit.</p>
<p>One card can be moved at a time. However, the player is allowed
to move a sequence of cards as a unit to another pile with an
appropriate card (e.g. 6-5-4-3 of spades can be placed on the 7 of
spades).</p>
<p>When all possible moves are made (or the player has done all the
possible moves one can make), the piles are picked up in reverse
order. For example, the twelfth pile is placed over the eleventh
pile, and this new pile is placed on the tenth pile, and so on.
Then, without shuffling, the cards are dealt to as many piles of
four as the remaining decks will allow. To ensure that the order of
the cards is not disturbed for the most part, it is suggested that
the cards are dealt four at time. This can be done only twice.</p>
<p>The game is won successfully when all cards are built onto the
foundations up to Kings.</p>
