Description of Medici Solitaire

If anyone has the opportunity to find a description of the Medici Solitaire, please send it! So that one can see the "original," so to speak.

Take a deck of cards, face down. Lay out the first three cards from left to right. Analyze the spread. The second card is important here. If it is located between cards of the same suit (for example, between hearts) or between cards of the same rank (for example, between tens), then this second card is placed on the first. (Dream Hackers' interpretation: a certain action triggered an event or a response from the world. You responded to this response with a new, adequate action (which will correspond to a subsequent response), and the first event became "closed"; it no longer draws your attention, energy, or time; it turned out to be "completed"; and now the chain of events begins, as it were, with the second event.)

If the second card does not "fold" (does not stack); if it is not between cards of the same suit or same rank, you lay out a fourth card and begin analyzing the third card – that is, you check if it is between identical suits or identical ranks. If yes, it is placed on the second card, and then you return to analyzing it as the second card (since the third has become the second). If not, you lay out a fifth card and begin analyzing the fourth card. Suppose the fourth card turned out to be between identical suits, fell onto the third, and immediately found itself between two kings. Then it (the fourth) and the third card beneath it are placed onto the second.

Usually, the Medici Solitaire rarely comes together. There is a wonderful variant of the solitaire coming together – when a chain of events seemed absolutely tangled and unsolvable, and suddenly some new action led to the explosive resolution of the entire chain. This means that you have executed a certain universal algorithm in the process of world-creation. In reality, it looks like this: you lived, you did things, everything was rather boring and measured, and suddenly... Some action, a random call or meeting, starts a whirlwind of events; everything instantly turns into a vortex of actions and encounters, and your life completely changes. Or it happens like this: you did something, and your act set several dozens of people in motion. They rush around, solving emergent problems, then the situation reaches some outcome that perfectly suits you; which fulfills your desire or intention. This again looks like a wonderful coincidence or a miracle, but you already know that it is the result of your deliberate effort.
