Push Pin Solitaire

Push Pin is a perfect information solitaire with the unique mechanic of discarding matching cards if they are sandwiched between other matching cards. The game is a reimagination of the game "Push Pin" found in the 1895 book "Patience: A Series of Games with Cards" by Mrs. E.D. Cheney.
