STALACTITES

STALACTITES is a one deck game of solitaire.  The object is to build up the four foundations regardless of suit by ones until each pile contains 13 cards.  Play consists of clicking on any available card to move it to one of the foundations.  Available cards are the bottom card in each column.  Once you click on a card, it will be moved automatically to the first foundation (left to right) that is appropriate.

In addition, you may remove a certain number of cards from anywhere in the layout.  This is called a PULL.  To execute a PULL, move the cursor to the card you desire and press the RIGHT mouse button.  The selected card will then be moved to the bottom of the column where it then becomes available for play on the foundations.  You may select the number of PULLS available per game from the options menu.

The chances for winning this game are very slim.


SIR TOMMY

SIR TOMMY is a one deck game of solitaire.  The object is to move the four aces as they become available up to the four foundations and to build up the foundations regardless of suit from ace to king.  Play consists of removing one card at a time from the deck and either placing it on a foundation if possible or placing it in one of the four waste piles.  The top card of each wastepile may be played to the foundation.  The game is won if all cards are played to the foundations.

To move the cards from the deck to the waste piles, click on the card and drag it to the pile of your choice.

To move a card from the deck to a foundation, double click on the card.  To move a card from a waste pile to a foundation, double click on the card.

The chances for winning this game are 1 in 5.


AULD LANG SYNE

AULD LANG SYNE:  The object of Auld Lang Syne is to build up the foundations regardless of suit from ace to king.  Play consists of dealing the deck in groups of four cards to the tableau and then playing available cards to the foundation.  The bottom cards of each column are available for play.

To deal the cards, click on the card back (red).  Click on a card on the tableau to move it to the foundation.

The chances for winning this game are 1 in 100.


GOLF

GOLF:  The object of Golf is to play off all the cards in the layout to the one foundation.  Only the bottom card in each column is available for play.  Cards may be played on the foundation regardless of suit and may go up or down in sequence.  For example, you may play this series:  2-3-4-5-4-3-4.  However, the only card you may play on an ace is a two, and no cards may be played on a king.  When you cannot play any more cards from the layout, click on the card deck to play a new card to the foundation.  Continue in this fashion until the game is won or the deck is exhausted.

The chances for winning this game are 1 in 20.
