You start with
an A-frame, then build a tight horizontal wall of four around it, roofing the
A-frame with two more cards supported by the walls, and repeat till it’s as
tall as you want it.
The trick is to
never use a brand-new deck.
That way lies
tears and failure as the slippery, unused cards just slide off of each other.
Even the first A-frame is impossible with unworn edges and shiny surfaces.
The older the
deck, the taller and more stable the house. Slightly-ragged edges and cards
dull from shuffling can be stacked into elaborate castles and fortresses.
