Micro Solitaire
New
implementation of the classical solitaire game
Micro Solitaire
is an implementation of the classical
Klondike solitaire game,
having new graphic, animation, card design and sounds. The goal is the
same, you have to build up the four suit stacks in ascending order (one
for each color), using all the cards in the deck. You win the game when
all stacks are completed, and the score you get is based on the card
movements and the playing time. This game release has many features,
from hints and auto-play to statistics and score posting.
Version 5.0:
-
a new, bigger card
design, auto-play, undo, hint buttons, board resize and better animation;
-
faster 'no more moves'
code, game replay option;
-
it also includes a new solitaire variant named
'Thoughtful', where all cards are
dealt face up;
-
it is optimized for
Windows 8 and Tablet PC use.
Description
Settings page hosts
the Klondike / Thoughtful and Draw one / Draw three options; when these
are changed when playing, the current game is lost and a new one will
automatically start on page exit. Among other usual options,
here you can see and select the game deck (back of the cards) from eight
new models.
Statistics page shows
the best time and score values, plus the wins/games ratio, for both
Klondike / Thoughtful and Draw1/Draw3 games you have played. These values can be cleared anytime,
for each game style.
Registration page
allows you to paste the key you received on purchase or browse your
computer for the file where it is stored. The buy page can be open from
here, and the game updates can be checked for with a single mouse click.

Requirements
In order do enjoy
the animation, we recommend a fast graphic card (1024x768
resolution at least, 24 bits color deep) and a minimum 2Ghz processor.
You may also play this game on slower computers, if the animation, shadows
and 'No more moves' options are
disabled (Settings menu). It works with any Windows release, from XP to
8, either 32 or 64-bit version.

screen will be filled with cards, and you can move them toward the
upper stacks, starting with the Aces.

or stack over the other with an alternate color and in descending
order.
- Only a King can be moved

Miscellaneous
After a hundred games,
if you consider that your best score, time and winning ratio are good
enough, you can post them via e-mail to our Top Solitaire. The mail text
is generated in Statistics page, and you have to copy it to the e-mail
body, then send it with your e-mail client.
When the "auto-play"
option is ON, the playable cards are automatically moved to the upper
stacks, and the face down cards are turned over. But notice that these
moves are not always the best ones, so we recommend to disable the
auto-play option if you are not a beginner.
During a game, if there
are not any useful moves, the message "No more moves" will
appear, when is enabled; the game can be replayed, making other moves.
A small button appears when
the mouse is over the bottom-right corner; it allows you to resize the
game window, but not when the full screen mode is active.
The new deck's design is an
