Devil’s Grip

Object of the Game


The goal is to place the entire deck into the piles on the grid, winding up with jacks on top in the top
row, queens on top in the middle row, and kings on top in the bottom row.

The Deck
Two standard 52-card packs are stripped of all the aces, leaving a deck of 96 cards.

The Deal
After the pack is shuffled, 24 cards are dealt face up in three rows of eight columns. At any time, cards
may be moved within this three-by-eight grid by changing places with one another. The remainder of
the pack is placed face down to form the stock.

The Play
Cards may be placed on top of one another if they are of the same suit and adhere to one of the
following bottom-to-top orders:

2, 5, 8, J

3, 6, 9, Q

4, 7, 10, K

The order may seem random, but it makes sense visually on the grid: deuces in the top row, threes in
the middle, fours on the bottom row, then in the top row, fives, middle row sixes, and so on.

Spaces
When an empty space appears as a result of moving one card on top of another, the top card of the
stock is drawn to replace it. This is the only way that the base cards (deuces, threes and fours) can
make it onto the grid. If there are no empty spaces, cards are turned up in the traditional Solitaire
manner - groups of three - and these cards are left face up in a pile to form the talon. Cards of the
correct suit may be taken and placed on top of appropriate cards already on the grid. Thus, the Eight
of Spades may be placed on the Five of Spades. It is not necessary for the five to already be on top of a
two of Spades.

Ending the Game


Play continues until no more cards can enter the grid. Usually, every pile will have a picture card on
top. The cards left in the talon are counted to become the player's score - the lower the better. It is
rare to play out the entire deck. A score of 10 or fewer cards left in the talon is "good"; a score of five
cards or under is "excellent"; and 2 or fewer cards is "brilliant."
