The Wish Solitaire

The Wish uses aces and ranks six through king, with no twos through fives. Its 36 cards form nine visible piles of four, ready for equal-rank matching.

Only the exposed ends can pair

Drag one available card onto another of the same rank, regardless of suit or color. Both cards leave the board, exposing the cards beneath. You cannot move an unmatched card into another pile or refill an empty space. There is no stock or reshuffle.

Four copies leave a choice of partners

When more than two copies of a rank are exposed, inspect what each pair would uncover. Removing the two that reveal another useful match can keep the board moving. A partner visible deeper in a pile is not available until its blockers are gone. Win by emptying all nine piles.
