ICICLE v. 1.0
A Windows Card Game
by Matt Tagliaferri software.
ICICLE is a Windows Solitaire game that drives most people I know crazy,
because it's (almost) impossible to win. I myself have won a total of
twice in my life, once on computer and once using Real cards. Thanks(?)
to Dan "Bookem" Gydosh for teaching me this infernal game in college.

NOTE: This Game is ALMOST identical to another game I have floating
around cyberspace. The other game is called DISCARD. Below is a
summary of the differences in the rules.
Both games play exactly the same way. Four columns are displayed, and
if matching suits exist of the four bottommost cards, the lower card is
discarded by double clicking. The difference in the two games exists
when an empty column is created.
In ICICLE, the empty column can be filled with ANY King showing on the
card tableau. If the King has cards below it, they will be moved with
the King.
In DISCARD, any of the bottommost cards from the three remaining non-empty
columns can be moved to the top of the empty column. In this game, the
covered cards are COMPLETELY covered. Since the object is to leave only
the four Kings at the top of the columns, the user must remember where
the Kings are as they become covered by other cards.
I have found the DISCARD is easier to win, but requires a bit more thought
(in remembering where the Kings are).
