* Using Solitaire

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Solitaire consists of 5 games.  Use the "Game" picker to switch between

the games, and the "New" button to start a new game.  The games are:



Klondike:



The object is to build up the four "Foundation Piles", from Ace to King.

Columns on the playing field are built in descending order in alternating

colors.  Tap on the deck to flip over three cards onto the discard pile.  You

can move cards from the top of the discard pile or the game board.  You can

move "blocks" of cards from the playing field to other columns on the playing

field.  Only kings can be played on empty columns.  You can redeal as many

times as you like.



Bristol:



The object is to build up the four foundation piles.  Build columns

in descending order regardless of suit.  Cards are flipped over onto 

three discard piles.  You can not play cards onto empty columns.



Eight Off:



The object is to build up the four foundation piles.  Build columns in

descending order in the same suit.  Any card can be played on the 8 extra

spaces on the bottom, or on empty spaces on the playing field.



Pyramid:



The object is to remove all cards from the playing field.  Flip one card

at a time onto the discard pile.  You have access to any uncovered cards

on the discard pile or on the playing field.  You can remove pairs of cards

from the discard pile and the the playing field as long as that pair adds up to Thirteen.  Jacks count as Eleven, Queens as Twelve, and Kings as Thirteen

(Kings are the only cards that can be removed alone).  If the top two cards

of the discard pile add up to thirteen, you can double tap on the discard

pile to remove these two cards.



Poker Square:



The object is to get the highest score possible.  25 cards are dealt out

in a square.  Switch the position of cards to try and make the rows and

columns and diagonals have the best hand.



To move cards in any of the games, either tap and hold on the card, then drag 

it to it's destination, or tap on the card, then tap on the destination.  

(Note:  Only the tapping is supported in Pyramid) To flip over a new card from

the deck, tap on the deck.
