A new Solitaire card game, today. The aim is to try to reach the top of the tower by matching cards.

You can Play Tower Solitaire in the card games of Shoebox.

A card must match either the suit or value of the two cards on the row below. eg, if you have a three of hearts and a five of diamonds next to each other, you can place either a five of hearts, or a three of diamonds on the row above.

To help, you can replace any free cards with cards of similar suit or value. So, you could place a 6 of hearts directly onto the 3 of hearts, allowing you to then place a 6 of diamonds on the row above.

This sounds rather complicated, but it's fairly obvious once you get to grips with it.

The game itself is fairly easy, but as with most Solitaire games, you're very much at the mercy of the cards.

I've added three difficulties, consisting of Four, Five or Six bottom cards. These, obviously, make it harder and harder to reach the top.
So far I've managed 4/10 Four, 1/4 Five and 0/2 Six's!
Be sure to let me know if you manage to beat a tower of 6!

What I Didn't Do

I didn't add an easier "Three Towers" mode.
I very very nearly did, but then I realised the bulk of the GUI requires at least four spaces (for the draw deck, and the three dealt piles)


I also didn't figure out if this game already exists, or not!
If you DO know of this game existing elsewhere, be sure to post its proper name in the comments.
I KNOW it isn't Pyramid.. Pyramid's about removing the cards, not adding them!
