About this game

Sparrow is one of the multitude of Patience type card games. The 52 cards are dealt in 16 stacks arranged in a 4x4 grid. The stacks in the top three rows each receive 4 cards and the stacks in the bottom row a single card. The aim is to remove all cards from the playing area by matching pairs of similar cards.

There are two variations available.
1. Any card of the same value matches another card of the same value irrespective of colour.
2. A card only matches a card with the same value and colour (red or black). In this variation you can move cards to empty locations by matching the card with that location.

To match two cards select a card (it will be marked as selected) and then select the card to match with it. If the cards match they will both be removed. If they do not all cards will be deselected and you can start the matching sequence again.
