Grid with overlapping rows?

Question

I'm creating a card game and I want to use a grid to position the cards (div's). How can I create a grid where the rows overlap like in this image?

Answer 1

I did it with floats. At least it works in all browsers.

HTML:

<div class="card-set">
  <div class="row row-1">
    <!-- 1st row -->
    <div class="col-1-of-10">
      <div class="card"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-1-of-10">
      <div class="card"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-1-of-10">
      <div class="card"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-1-of-10">
      <div class="card"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-1-of-10">
      <div class="card"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-1-of-10">
