Maze Solitaire

At the start of the game all 52 cards are laid out in a 9 x 6 grid, 8 cards are dealt to the first 2 rows and the remaining cards are dealt to the remaining 4 rows. Then the Ks are removed, leaving the grid with 6 empty spaces, and the game starts. The aim of the game is to arrange the cards into four consecutive strings of cards of the same suit from A to Q. Each time you can move one card to an empty space if the card before the space is of the same suit and is one point lower than the moving card, or if the card after the space is of the same suit and one point higher than the moving card. Note that the end of the first row joins the start of the second row, and the end of the second row joins the start of the third row, and so on until the end of the last row joins the start of the first row. Any A can be put after a Q. The rule is simple but it takes some planning in order to win.
