Angelistar

This game is similar to the real-life solitaire card game called "Poker Squares", except that this game includes an adversary and a helper angel with a magical ability.

* Instructions

Your goal is to get the best poker hands on every row and every column of the play area.  You do this by setting down cards one at a time.  Every time you play a card, the demon will play a card randomly to throw off your plans.  However, if you improve one of your columns or rows, the angel grants you the chance to remove any card from the board and put it somewhere else.  Try to get a score at least 100.

* Poker terminology:

The "suit" of a card is the symbol on its corner.  It can be a heart, a diamond, a club, or a spade.

The "rank" of a card is the large number or letter taking up most of the card's surface.  The order goes: A (Ace), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J (Jack), Q (Queen), and K (King).  The Ace counts as being adjacent to the King for the purposes of a Royal Flush (see below).

* Poker hands:

One Pair = two cards of the same rank
Two Pairs = two cards sharing a rank, and another two cards sharing a rank
Three of a Kind = three cards of the same rank
Straight = five cards in a continuous sequence of ranks (e.g., A, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Flush = five cards sharing a suit
Full House = three cards sharing a rank, and another two cards sharing a rank
Four of a Kind = four cards sharing a rank
Straight Flush = five cards in a continuous sequence of ranks sharing a suit
Royal Flush = Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and 10 sharing a suit
