Select a card, then choose a highlighted destination.
Playing the cards
Five packets of three non-Club cards are exposed per pass, replacing Clubs as they appear. The remaining cards are reshuffled for two more passes. Success requires discarding every Club by the third pass.
First plan
Follow the Club count after each packet to see how many remain hidden.
This is a chance game: the fixed deal and three-pass limit determine whether all Clubs appear.
