Inseparable Pairs: reviewing the exhibit Double Solitaire
Double solitaire is a single-person game played in the company of another—two people seated at the same table, each negotiating with his own set of cards, luck of the draw, and strategy. Their 52-card sets, though, are dealt by shuffling together two separate decks, and the game is competitive—thus, our players' fates are intermingled from the start.
