How many times a day do you beat Solitaire?

Wolf, do you play with actual cards, or on the computer? Before computer, I used to play a lot of Canfield and Scorpion.

I beat solitaire like a red-headed stepchild.



Sometimes.

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?

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).

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.
