New Games and Saved Games

Starting a New or Different Game

To play a new game of the same kind of solitaire, just choose New Game from the File menu, or type ⌘N. Your old game will end, and the new game will be laid out for you.

To play a different solitaire, choose the one you want from the Games menu.

You can only have one game going at a time, so when you start a new game your old game will end. (But you can save it for later if you like.)

Saving and Resuming Games

When you end a game, Solitaire Till Dawn will usually ask you if you want to save it. You can choose to save the game, or discard it, or change your mind and keep playing. You can also save a game at any time by choosing Save or Save As from the File menu.

To resume a saved game, choose Open from the File menu and select the saved-game file. You can also resume a saved game by double-clicking the saved-game file’s icon in the Finder. Saved-game files are never automatically deleted, so remember to drag them to the Trash when you’re done with them.

Solitaire Till Dawn will not ask you about saving the game if you haven’t made any moves yet, or if you’ve already won the game, or if you’ve turned off “Show ‘Save Game?’ Reminders” in your preferences.
