I beat solitaire like a red-headed stepchild.



Sometimes.

This is pretty much how I do it. I will add that, later that day, even knowing that I've already won several times, it is possible that I might allow myself to play just a little more. When, to my surprise, I win again, I am often stumped as to what to do next. Sometimes I play again just to ease the shock.

Android phone, free app called 250+ Solitaire Games.

I love Scorpion, never tried to play it with real cards, moving the piles seems like such a hassle when you have to tidy them up every time you move them, but it's MADE for computer play.

I am also a big Canfield fan.

I worked my way through the Solitaire section of Hoyle's Rules of Card Games when I was a kid stuck in bed with pneumonia.

I haven't found addiction solitaire or accordion yet, but I'im sure they're in there somewhere ... I mean 250+ different solitaires, they have to be in the batch, right?

Isn't addiction also called Montana? Or am I thinking of a different one?

I started wondering if I could improve my FreeCell win percentage, because basically when I play, a lot of times I dont give it my full attention, and I usually play really fast.

Well so far so good....

i just don't play it. am I a freak?

Montana is on my phone, seems very similar, except that it's played 6 to K instead of with a full deck. I have a strong preference for playing with a full deck ...

The stripped deck version does make wins more likely, and it seems to have unlimited redeals, which I kind of remember having a four redeal limit.

Now I just have to find Accordion.

And that one where you want to have only the Aces left that I can never remember the name of ... might be Aces Up. (not on the phone under that name. But Agnes Bernauer is pretty cool).

Of course you are. But not cuz o' solitaire.

;)

I see. The Montana on my phone is full deck with only 4 redeals. I played that game for a while until it just pissed me off, so I switched to a different version.

6 to King is more winnable.

There is also a "Big Montana" in my list, which is a double deck version.

And something called Big Black Carpet which uses only the black cards.

New Cellar Challenge:

Beat Solitaire, beat Solitaire again--before the cards clear from the first time (seen below on dual monitors).

I play Eight Off on my phone, but not very often anymore. I'm a crosswords sort of gal.
That and Doom.

By "Doom" do you mean the ID software game? I love that game. A lot. Played it through a couple of times, back when it was new.

ID software...didn't they do the Commander Keen series?

I love those old games.

And all the Aveyonds too.

Indeed. In fact, I still have my original distribution discs (three 3.5" discs) here. Awesome game.
