A game for two players

Take the entire deck, shuffle and deal out as shown in the diagram below (all cards should be face up)

One player will play as the black cards the other as the red cards, red plays first (optional)
On a player's turn they may do 1 of three things:

1. They may swap two of their own cards which are touching
   
2. They may swap one of their cards position with an opposing players card providing  the opponents card is of less or equal value and the cards are touching
   
3. They may swap one of their cards with an empty space card (will become clear later)
   

2: Blacks turn

3: Blacks turn

1: Blacks turn

If at any point in a game a card does not satisfy any of the conditions shown below is deemed to be eliminated and it will be turned over (i.e. face down) and will become an empty space card:
1: It is in contact with another card of the same colour
2: It is the first go of either 2 players
3: It is higher in value than all the cards of the opposing colour added together (ace is 14, king 13, queen 12, jack 11 and other cards as their face values), (this is a condition which is rarely met)

If a player eliminates an opposing card they may swap two more cards (as above)  however if by that swap they eliminate yet another card they still end their turn

A player looses when all their cards have been eliminated (or they surrender)
