Welcome to Railroad Solitaire!
Railroad is a form of solitaire also known as Russian Solitaire, one of
the most challenging types of solitaire available. The object is
to increase your score over time. Every time you deal, your score goes down 52
points. Every time you move a card to the foundation stacks, your score
increases by 10. It's challenging and addictive!
This software is freeware. Enjoy!
How To Play
The stacks above are called foundation stacks, and accept cards in ascending
order by suit (starting with Aces). The stacks below are called layout stacks.
You must stack the cards in the layout stacks in descending order by suit.
For example, you can stack a 4 of hearts on top of a 5 of hearts. You can
take a card from the middle of a layout stack and move it to another
stack - it will take all cards below it as you go though! If there is an
empty layout stack, you can move a king into that position. When you can,
move cards from the layout stacks to the foundation stacks. You'll get 10
points every time you do this.
Moving Cards
To move a card, simply double tap on it. If there is a place for it to go,
Railroad will move it to the right spot immediately. Or if you prefer, tap on
the card, then tap on the destination. Occasionally a stack will grow below
the bottom of the screen. In this case, a scroll bar will appear. You can use
the scrollbar to scroll the layout stacks or simply use the up and down
buttons on your Palm.
Dealing the Cards
When there are no more moves, the screen will flash. You know then it is
time to redeal. To deal the cards, select the menu item for Deal. For a
shortcut, you can tap on the score to redeal. If you are fed up with your
score and want to start fresh, select Reset Score from the menu.
Stats!
Railroad keeps statistics on your games from the Stats... command. It keeps
two groups of stats: overall stats, and stats since the last Reset Score.
Difficulty
With the Difficulty command you can select the dealing technique. Normal
mode is default and includes "friendly deals". Hard mode is totally random
deals, as if you were playing with a real deck of cards.
Good luck and enjoy playing Railroad Solitaire!
