الوصف: We demonstrate the existence of a non-terminating game of Beggar-My-Neighbor, discovered by lead author Brayden Casella. We detail the method for constructing this game and identify a cyclical structure of 62 tricks that is reached by 30 distinct starting hands. We further present a short history of the search for this solution since the problem was posed, and a record of previously found longest terminating games. The existence of this non-terminating game provides a solution to a long-standing question which John H. Conway called an `anti-Hilbert problem.'
