Introduction

Welcome to Solitaire! We hope you enjoy these solitaire card games from the smallWare Solitaire Collection.

This document contains instructions for using the software on your Palm OS handheld, and rules for all of the solitaire games in the collection. Different software packages contain different games, so check the ReadMe file to see which games were included with your package.

Requirements

smallWare Solitaire 3.5 requires Palm OS version 2.0 or greater. If your handheld has an older version of the Palm OS, contact smallWare to find out how to get a previous version of smallWare Solitaire.

Installation

Here are step-by-step instructions for getting smallWare software onto your Palm OS handheld. This is only an overview of the process. You should refer to the manuals that came with your handheld to learn how to install software properly.

Device Setup

Attach the docking cradle to your computer according to the instructions that came with your handheld. Follow the same instructions to install the included desktop software from Palm, and to make sure the handheld's connection to your computer is working.

This connection must be set up properly before you can install software to or backup data from your handheld. If you need more help connecting your handheld to your computer, you can visit the support section of the Palm website at http://www.palm.com/support/.

Download

decompressing

If your desktop computer does not already have decompression software, you can get StuffIt Expander™ from Aladdin Systems for free. This will enable you to open the smallWare ZIP files, plus many other compressed files you find online.

Our Solitaire software packages are compressed in ZIP format. You will need a decompression utility on your desktop computer to open the software.

Use your decompression software to decompress the Solitaire ZIP file. (Most decompression software will automatically decompress the software after downloading.) There are several files inside the Solitaire ZIP file. Be sure to save these files on your computer's hard drive in a place where you can find them. The best place is in the ADD-ON folder inside the PALM folder where your Palm Desktop software resides. Or, you can save the files on a floppy disk.

If your decompression software doesn't prompt you to choose a location to save the files, check the software's settings to see where it saves files that it automatically decompresses.

Now that your files are downloaded and decompressed, you can install the software onto your handheld.

Install

The files you will install onto your device have names ending with .prc. Your package includes the optional Sol Manual for your handheld: SolManual35*.prc. The game application file(s) included in your software package depends on which package you have:

Sol Free SolFree35x.prc
Solitaire 1 Sol1_35x.prc
Solitaire 2 Sol2_35x.prc
Solitaire Bundle Sol1_35x.prc
Sol2_35x.prc

The Install Tool software from Palm that came with your handheld is what you use to get software onto your device. Here is a summary of how to use this software:

  1. Start the Install Tool software.
  2. Click the "Add" button.
  3. Browse to the game files you decompressed earlier.
  4. Select the files to install.
  5. Close the Install Tool.
  6. Perform a HotSync operation.

The Solitaire software will be installed on your handheld.

Glossary

Here is a list of terms and definitions used in solitaire card games.

Definitions

Suit

There are four suits: Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, Spades

Color

There are two colors of cards, red and black. Hearts and Diamonds are red cards. Clubs and Spades are black cards.

Rank

Rank is the numerical ordering of the cards. There are thirteen ranks in each suit, typically ordered King high:
A 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 J Q K
Another ordering is Ace high:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 J Q K A
Consecutive ordering puts Aces after Kings, and Twos after Aces:
6 7 8 9 10 J Q K A 2 3 4 5

Tableau

The tableau is the layout in which the cards are dealt onto the playing table. Each Solitaire game has its own tableau and its own rules for playing cards in the tableau. Empty tableau spaces are represented on the screen by empty rectangles.

Foundation

Most Solitaire games have foundations which are played into according to rank, suit, and/or color rules. Building complete foundations is the goal of many Solitaire games. Foundations are represented on the screen by rectangles containing a number or letter indicating the rank of the first card that can be played in the foundation.

Stock

In Solitaire games that do not deal all cards into the tableau, the remaining cards are typically dealt face down into the stock. Rules for using the stock vary from game to game. The stock is represented on the screen by a rectangle containing a circle.

Wastepile

Cards dealt from the stock that cannot be played in the tableau or foundations are typically placed face up in one or more wastepiles. Wastepiles are represented on the screen by a rectangle containing an X.

Redeal

Redealing the cards usually means taking the wastepile and flipping it over into the exhausted stock to allow the cards to be played again. Redealt cards are not shuffled.

How to Play

Actions

menubar

If you are new to the Palm OS, you may not have found the menubar yet. Almost all Palm OS software uses the menubar. To use it, tap the titlebar of the application or tap the MENU button on your handheld.

Solitaire makes liberal use of the menubar. Exploring this feature can teach you a lot about how the software works.

Starting a new game

To start a new game, select New from the Game menu. In the dialog box, select the game you want to play from the popup list, then tap the OK button to start the game.

Scrolling the screen

When the view is set to Scrolling in the game preferences, long columns of cards may extend off the visible bottom of the screen. To see these cards, scroll the screen using either the built-in scroll buttons on your device or the scroller buttons on the game toolbar.

Perhaps the best way to play games that must be scrolled often is to use the thumb of the hand holding the device to press the scroll buttons at the bottom of the device while you use the stylus with the other hand.

Initial deal

When a new game is started Solitaire automatically deals the cards into the initial setup. Each game has a unique initial deal. Please refer to the rules of the particular game you are playing for more information.

Moving cards

Solitaire supports two type of card movement - tapping and dragging.

To move a card by tapping, tap the card to be moved. If the card can be moved it will be selected, which is indicated by highlighting the card. Next, tap the place where you want the card to go. If the card can be moved there according to the game rules it will move to the new position. If the rules prevent the card from being moved to that position it will be deselected, and the new position you tapped will be selected, if possible.

To move a card by dragging, tap and hold the stylus on the card you wish to move, then drag the card with the stylus to the place where you want the card to go. If the card can be moved there according to the game rules, the card will move to the new position.

Dealing from a stock

Many games use a pile of cards called a stock. Cards in a stock are dealt periodically during a game according to that game's rules. To deal cards from a stock, tap the top of the stock.

Redeals

Some games allow redeals. A redeal is the act of taking cards, usually from a wastepile, and flipping them over into an empty stock so that they may be dealt again. Redealt cards are not shuffled. To redeal, tap the empty stock space.

Foundations

The goal of most Solitaire games is to play the cards into one or more foundations. Solitaire provides some shortcuts for this to help speed up play.

If Auto Play is turned on in the preferences, cards will automatically be played into foundations as they become available throughout the game.

Tapping the arrow icon will activate an Instant Auto Play. Any available cards that can be played by the Auto Play feature will move. When no more cards can be moved, the Auto Play feature is deactivated until the icon is tapped again.

Double-tapping on a card that can be played into a foundation will move that card into the foundation.

Undoing a move

Solitaire provides an undo feature to correct mistakes. Up to 30 levels of undo will be stored. This number is set in the software's preferences. To undo a move, select Undo from the Edit menu or tap the undo icon on the toolbar.

Cheating

If you get really stuck, the software will allow you to cheat. Select Cheat from the Edit menu. You will get instructions on how you may cheat - each game cheats differently. Confirm that you want to cheat, then follow the instructions. Cheats are stored in the game statistics. Cheats that are undone using the undo feature will not be removed from the game statistics.

Toolbar

Activates an Instant Auto Play. Any available cards that can be played by the Auto Play feature will move. When no more cards can be moved, the Auto Play feature is deactivated.

Solitaire Game Rules

This section contains the rules for the various solitaire games in the smallWare Solitaire Collection. Check the ReadMe file included with your software to see which games are in your package.

Agnes

Objective

Play all cards into the four foundations.

Initial Deal

The game begins with 28 cards dealt into the tableau of seven columns. There is one card in the first column, two in the second, and so on, with seven cards in the seventh column.

One card is dealt face up into the first foundation.

The remaining cards are dealt face down into the stock.

Foundations

There are four foundations. A foundation is completed when 13 cards of the same suit have been played into it.

A card may be played into a foundation if it is the same suit as the other cards in the foundation and one rank higher than the top card. For example, if the top card of a foundation is the 4 of Clubs, the next card that can be played into the foundation is the 5 of Clubs. An Ace is played on top of a King.

The first card that can be played into a foundation must have the same rank as the card that was dealt into the first foundation when the game started. For example, if an 8 is dealt into the first foundation, the other foundations must have an 8 played into them as the first card.

Tableau

The tableau is made up of seven columns of cards. The end card of a column is available for play into foundations or onto the end of another tableau column.

To play a card onto the end of a column, it must be the same color and one lower in rank. For example, if the end card of a column is the 9 of Hearts, an 8 of Hearts or 8 of Diamonds may be played onto it. A King is played onto an Ace.

Cards in a column that are the same color and one lower in rank are "chained" together, and cannot be separated for play inside the tableau. To move them to another column, they must be moved as a unit. For example, if the last three cards in a column are the 6 of Spades, the 5 of Clubs, and the 4 of Clubs, these cards form a chain that can only be moved onto a 7 of Spades or 7 of Clubs.

A chain can be broken to play an end card into a foundation. Playing a chain into a foundation will place the end card onto the foundation and place the remainder of the chain back onto the tableau column it was played from.

Empty tableau columns cannot have cards played onto them.

Stock

Tapping the stock will deal one card onto the end of each tableau column, including empty columns.

Redeals

No redeals are allowed.

The tableau is made up of eight columns of cards. The end card of a column is available for play into foundations, onto the end of another tableau column, or into the reserve.

For example, if the top card of a foundation is the 4 of Clubs, a 5 of Clubs, 5 of Hearts, 5 of Spades, or 5 of Diamonds may be played into it. An Ace is played on top of a King.

The first card played onto an empty foundation space must be one rank higher than the indicator card above the foundation. For example, an empty foundation space with an 8 of Clubs indicator card may only have a 9 played as the first card.

Indicator cards

Each of the eight foundations has an indicator card positioned just above it on the table. The first card played into a foundation must be one rank higher than the corresponding indicator card.

As a foundation is built, its indicator card "indicates" the building progress. For example, if a foundation's indicator card is a 7, that foundation begins with an 8. When the top foundation card is a 6, that foundation will contain 12 cards.

When 12 cards have been played onto a foundation, the foundation's indicator card is turned face down and moved on top of the foundation. No more cards can be played into that foundation afterward. In the example above, after a 6 is played into the foundation the 7 indicator card will automatically be played on top as the 13th card, completing the foundation.

A card may be played into the leftmost foundation if it is the same suit as the other cards in the foundation and one rank higher than the top card. For example, if the top card of the leftmost foundation is the 4 of Hearts, the next card that can be played into the foundation is the 5 of Hearts. An Ace is played on top of a King.

The other seven foundations are played on in descending rank. A card may be played into one of these foundations if it is the same suit as the other cards in the foundation and one rank lower than the top card. For example, if the top card of one of these foundations is the 4 of Clubs, the next card that can be played into the foundation is the 3 of Clubs. A King is played on top of an Ace.

A 10 must be played as the first card in an empty foundation.

When the game is won, the visible foundation cards will be the Jack and Queen of Hearts - the couple getting married - with six Jack groomsmen beside them.

Tableau

The tableau is made up of 16 piles of face up cards. The top card of each pile is available for play into foundations.

Only cards dealt from the stock can be placed on tableau piles.

Stock

Tapping the stock will deal one card onto each tableau pile.

Redeals

Redeals in Matrimony are unusual. When the stock is empty, tapping the empty stock space will place the cards from the first tableau pile onto the stock. The new cards in the stock can be dealt as before.

When the stock is again empty, tapping the empty space will redeal the cards from the next tableau pile. Cards from the stock will now be dealt onto the tableau piles starting with the pile the cards came from.

This pattern continues for all 16 tableau piles. Once the 16th pile has been redealt, no more redeals are allowed.
