Cal's Brain Strain v2.03 ReadMe


Solitaires differ widely in the opportunities they afford for the 
exercise of skill.  Some are purely mechanical, while others torture
the mind.

Cal's Brain Strain is a variation of Calculation Solitaire.

"Calculation stands at the top of the list of games that give
opportunity for skill."

So says the world's leading authority on cards & gambling, John Scarne,
in his classic work Scarne's Encyclopedia of Card Games. You've played
all the other solitaires - but are you good enough for the king of them
all?
