🔎 Overview

The project includes:

Solitaire I – Picture Card Elimination

A card elimination game where picture cards (Jacks, Queens, and Kings) are removed across multiple rounds. Features:

• 52-card deck simulation
• Dynamic 4×4 game layout generation
• Automated picture-card detection and removal
• Multi-round gameplay
• Probability estimation through Monte Carlo simulation

Solitaire II – Stack Building Solitaire

A stack-based solitaire game where cards are organised into increasing and decreasing suit sequences.

Features:

• Multi-stack card management
• Rule-based placement engine
• Interactive command-line viewer
• Round-by-round game state tracking
• Statistical outcome simulation
