1474623 2021-01-19 20:02:00 Like a lot of you, I play Solitaire from Windows 7 from Winaero on Windows 10. I wonder how many of you might have noticed that often when first starting the game the following?

When the game starts The fifth column has 8 Spades and the sixth column has 8 Clubs as the top card. This happens regularly, so much so it makes me think that the decks are stacked by the programmer. It happens too often to be random. Just interested in your observations as I do not think this affects the game, just a programming anomaly.

1474625 2021-01-21 17:47:00 That is interesting. But I had not noticed it. I don't play the Windows version very often. I usually play Aisleriot in Linux, which has over 40 different games, including Solitaire and Freecell. Agent_24 (57)

1474627 2021-01-21 21:06:00 How is it better? I've never had a problem with Aisleriot. Agent_24 (57)

Tons more games (725).

Categories, "tour" where you can play a bunch one after other as a set, their choice or make you own.

Change decks, backgrounds and such. Small cards, big cards, whatever you like.

Works on Windows and Linux.

1474629 2021-01-22 02:42:00 I’ll put a vote in for Kpatience where the game Patience is called Klondyke. B.M. (505)
1474630 2021-01-22 21:42:00 We all have our favorites, I like PGS for the sheer number of games, Klondikes, Spiders, double decks, single, you name it, it has it.
But whatever appeals....

It certainly does look more featured but I'm not sure I can be bothered paying for that when Aisleriot is already quite enjoyable and costs nothing.

Also I see no Linux option, only Mac and Windows...?
