Accordion

Accordion is a video game in the puzzle genre developed by Softdisk Publishing and published by Softdisk Publishing originally released in 1990. It is currently playable on DOS.

Accordion is a fun multi-level solitaire card game in one of SoftDisk's 'Big Blue Disk' installments. The game is uniquely challenging but easy to learn. More game description:

In each level, different numbers of cards are dealt on the screen in rows from left to right. A card (and the pile of cards under it) can move to the first or second pile of cards to its left as long as it matches any of these cards in suit or rank. The object of the game is to reduce all the rows of cards to a single pile by repeatedly moving the piles of cards to neighboring piles. Each time you make a move, you turn over another card from the deck until it is empty. After making each move, be sure to check for more possible moves.

Remembering not to lock into a suit seems to be the best strategy for playing Accordion. You won't tend to corner yourself if you don't look at the cards on the right while moving the cards on the left. Getting to less than ten cards is fairly easy. However, at that point a single card can prevent you from winning because it is the only card of that suit left, and there is no card of the same rank to play'.
