Get rich, the card game
- Take two packs of 52 cards
- Separate out the same 10 cards from each pack
- Lay out one set of 10 on the table to create 10 columns
Repeatedly
- Shuffle the other set and deal one card
- Take two matching cards from the remains of the two packs
- Add one to the column that contains the card matching the dealt card
- Add the other and the dealt card to the shuffled cards
This game implements
preferential attachment
which is sometimes known as the rich get richer.
The probability that a column grows is proportional to the number of cards that
it already contains.
