## Description
Jacks' Dream is a thematic solo game that uses a standard deck of playing cards, but with a super interesting twist! Your goal is quite specific and somewhat dreamlike: you need to 'collapse' eight ranks (with four cards each) into 'pillows' and, to complete the mission, all Jacks must be tucked between two of these pillows. Sounds simple? Not quite! The game starts with five face-up card columns on the table, and in your hand, you have the four Jacks, which can be freely placed onto the columns. The magic begins when you move the number cards: they can only go onto other cards of the same rank or onto uncovered Jacks. When all four cards of the same rank are stacked together, they transform into a 'pillow' – a single face-down card. And the cherry on top? These pillows can only be moved onto Jacks or empty columns. It's a puzzle of logic and organization that will make you think hard about every move, seeking the perfect sequence to fulfill the Jacks' dream!
