Overview
  • Each number from 1 to 13 appear 4 times in your deck with a total value of 364 (sum from 1-13 x4)
  • The sum from 1 to 26 is 351. this means at the end of the game you will have exactly 13 remainder on the board.
  • At the end of the game you will at the very least use up 39 cards (at least 13 cards from 1-13 and 13 pairs from 14-26 cards), this means you will have >13 cards remaining on the board.
  • At least three 13's are required to make 25 (12+13) and 26 (13+13). similarly at least one 12 is required to make 25 and one ace for 1. Thus you want to minimize the use of these numbers for other purposes.
  • The table below shows the number of combination a number can be made with. The lowest and highest has the least number of combination and 12-14 is the most flexible with at least 7 combinations. Thus make sure the highest numbers are accounted for when combining.
  • I like to dedicate a stack to the highest numbers possible that way I can ensure that those are guaranteed available.

The simplest method is to do 1, 1+1, 1+2, 2+2, 2+3, etc.
