Solitaire Gameplay Overview In general, a solitaire game begins with cards laid out in a Tableau (original layout). Gameplay begins by clicking on a Stock pile (undealt cards), to turn up new cards as you try to build up Columns of cards which match in rank, color, suit, etc... Cards from the Columns are usually played to Foundations, which are designated on the Game screen by “marbled” card shapes. Hitting the “Tab” key while in a Game screen will display labels over the different components (e.g. the Foundation) of the Game screen. The “GLOSSARY” available from the Main Menu screen defines useful Solitaire terms. Selecting Cards In general, cards are moved via the “drag and drop” method. To move a card in this manner, place your cursor on the desired card and select it by depressing the left mouse button; keeping the button depressed, move the card to the desired spot and release the button. Any differences from the “drag and drop” method (e.g. to move pairs to a Foundation) are described in the Rules for each game. Often, pointing at the desired card and clicking the right mouse button will provide a shortcut way to move a card to a desired position, such as to a Foundation. Specific right mouse click functions are described in the Rules for each game. When necessary, you may peek at the bottom card of a Foundation by clicking on the Foundation. Resign Icon Click on the “Resign” icon on the Game screen when you are ready to resign the current hand and try the same game again. Your s…
