One Handed Solitaire

How to Play

Hold the deck in your hand face down. Draw four cards from the back of the deck. Bring them face up to the top of the deck. Fan them out so you can see all four cards. If the first and fourth card are the same suit, remove and discard the second and third cards. If the first and fourth card are the same number (or the same face card), remove and discard all four cards. If neither of these scenarios describes the hand, draw another card from the back. Make sure you have at least four cards face up. For example, if you started off the game by eliminating the middle two cards, you now need to draw two more. If you were unable to eliminate any cards at the start, you want to draw one more and arrange the cards until you can only see the top four. Continue play by drawing cards, eliminating cards as shown in step two. Draw more cards. Once you reach the end of the deck, the game is over. If you have managed to discard all the cards in the pile, you win! In any case, shuffle the deck a few times and start over. This game can entertain for hours.

Magical Use

Now once you reach the end of the hand you either have discarded all of the cards and that can have several meanings which I will cover in a bit, or you will have cards still in your hand, and they can be divined using a cartomancy translation of your choice, I will be adding a few links to some sources that I use.
