Fifteen solitaire is a fast moving game, difficult to win, but requiring little concentration.
 Shuttle one pack of 52 cards then lay out l6 cards face up in the form of square four by four. It you see any combination of cards, from the ace Counting D to the nine of the same suit, whose spots total fifteen, throw these cards out of the tableau and deal others in their place. Con- tinue in this way until you reach all impasse or until you win the game.
 Remember that each combination thrown out must comprise cards of the same suit and restricted in the denomination from ace to nine in- elusive. But any time that the tab leau contains four cards of any one of the higher denominations-four

tens, or four jacks, etc.--you may throw out these four cards and fill their places from the pack
 The series of nine cards from ace to nine in any suit totals 45 spots Thus each suit yields three com- b.nations of l5. If you take out the two pairs that make l5--eight and seven, nine and six-the third com bination comprises five cards.
 The chances of turning up all five cards to make this fifteen, before the tableau reaches an impasse, are very small. Therefore throw out combinations of three or more cards so long as you can do so, before throwing out two.
 The game is won if you succeed in throwing all 52 cards out of the tab- leau in combinations of IS and four of-a-kind.
