solitaire

[Scarlett]

I have just found Solitaire on my PC (yes I am THAT bored) and don't know how to play it! Please could someone explain it to me in simple form?! The view at the start is of a deck of cards and several that are already turned over. I think you can drag them around.

Thanks!x

Hi Scarlett  -  Lots to explain but here goes  -  The file name is Sol.exe.  The idea is to transfer all cards into numeric order from Ace to King, for each suit, from the bottom row to the top. It's all done with the mouse.  Draw a card with a single click, move a card by dragging and dropping, double-click an Ace to position it to the top, then transfer the 2 (same suit), 3, 4 and so on until you reach the King, so you have 4 separate sorted suits. On the bottom row you transfer red to black or black to red, by dragging and dropping  -  you can move several cards at once, as long as they're in sequence.  You can double-click a card at the bottom, as long as there's the right target at the top (same suit).  For example, double-click 2H on the bottom row, if you can see AH on the top.  Phew!! This will have to do you for now.  Just practise, single click, double-click, drag and drop singles or stacks.  You'll make loads of mistakes but will ultimately enjoy the pleasure of seeing all 52 cards cascade, once you 'go out'.  Use the help file  -  all explained far better than I can!  Change the deck at the beginning of each game to a new design, or stick with your favourite.  Have Fun!!
