I learned to play this game when I was young; I have many fond memories of playing this with my mother and two sisters. It is a variation on the traditional solitaire card game, allowing two players to play together by sharing the ace piles. Although there is a degree of strategy in this as there is in all solitaire card games, in this game that is not nearly so important as speed. The winner is the one with the most cards on the ace piles, or in the case of both players putting all of their 52 cards on the ace piles, the first person to have all 52 cards on ace piles. Although I still prefer to play this game with real cards that isn't always possible when for example the person you want to play with is in some other part of the world.
The program has both a local-only play against the computer mode and a play against another person who is also running this program. Computer play has three speed settings. Play between two people on different computers requires a TCP/IP connection between them, such as over the Internet. There is no game server, you only play with people you know.
There is no chat or voice mode contained in this program for the usual game play banter as you can accomplish this with your favorite chat or voice program running at the same time as you play.
Displays best on a screen resolution of 1024 X 768, although it will work and is playable on lower resolutions.
Cards used in this game are from the freeware QCard32.DLL written by Stephen Murphy.
