ChrisSchu Enthusiast Registered: Sun Mar 07 2004 Posts: 282 Loc: Graham, Texas, USA	What is your favorite way of playing Solitaire? Do you like to play on the computer or with actual cards? Is there a strange way of playing Solitaire that humanity has not discovered yet? _________________________ Hardware: The parts of a computer system that can be kicked.

I used to play it very often, but haven't played it for over a year now. _________________________ The cost of living has not affected its popularity - Loesje

Leau78 how did you manage not to play it for so long? I tried not playing it for a week and failed, it's too addictive. _________________________ 2[color:"red"]0 LE[/color]GEND

agony Administrator Registered: Sat Mar 29 2003 Posts: 16595 Loc: Western Canada	I have a hand held one, too. I wonder if it's the same - let's see if I can describe it. - You hold the deck in your hand, facing away from you - You bring the first four cards from the back of the deck to the front, facing you - If the two outside cards are the same suit, you discard the middle two cards - you then bring forward two more cards, making four, and do it again. - keep bringing cards forward, one at a time, only playing the last four at any one time. - If the two outside cards are the same card, (4's, say) you discard all four cards - If you end up discarding the whole deck, you have won. Now, did that make any sense?

For mine, you have the screen set up just like an actual solitare game. There are buttons for the seven piles, the four for the suit stacks, and one for the drawing-from stack. You just push the buttons for where you want a card to go. It has the regular or Vegas option as well, and you can also choose a timer option for more points! _________________________ In loving memory of Lucy, one of the sweetest cats ever.

JaneMarple Star Poster Registered: Fri Jan 30 2004 Posts: 14486 Loc: North West of England	I like Solitaire but it hurts my eyes if I play it too long on the computer! Sounds like your game Alien, pile of seven cards and then work up the sets (Hearts, Spades, Diamonds and Clubs) turning three cards over at a time. I find it fun playing with normal cards - I also like collecting playing cards, which has certain pictures on it, like castles etc, or places where you have been on holiday! _________________________ My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.

AlienGoddess Multiloquent Registered: Tue Feb 17 2004 Posts: 4435 Loc: Pleasanton California USA	It's okay Agony! I guess I wasn't clear on that. I'm talking about a hand-held electronic solitaire game! And no, I don't think you're an old Luddite! _________________________ In loving memory of Lucy, one of the sweetest cats ever.

Now, did that make any sense? Agony, you have described the solitaire came I love! I had forgotten about this version. You can play this one anywhere, as it is as portiable as any electronic hand held one. Well, except when you drop them all. Then the game becomes 52 pick up!

Now, did that make any sense? What do you call this game? This is a favorite of mine! We always called it "Idiot's Delight," but I see by searching online that "Idiot's Delight" is another solitaire game. I'd like to see if someone has made an electronic version of this great game, but don't know what to look for!
