<p> </p>
<p>Taipei Solitaire is a cross between the game of Taipei (or Shanghai) and
solitaire. However, cards are used rather that the traditional tiles. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The object of the game is to remove all of the cards from the layout by matching
pairs of cards that are 'free'. A card is free if either its left or right side
is not adjacent to another card. Cards are matched by number. For example, the
two of spades can be matched with any other two. If all of the cards are removed
from the layout, the game is won. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Taipei Solitaire comes with 10 different layouts of varying difficulty to
challenge you. There are also a few options which you can select to change
the nature of the game. </p>
<p>
<p>Requirements:
<ul>
<li>Pocket PC with Windows CE 3.0.</li>
<li>Microsoft ActiveSync to install the program.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Selecting a Layout</b> </p>
<p>Tap on the File Menu. Here you will see 10 different layouts such as Wall,
Rook, Tunnel or Steps. Tap on the layout that you would like to play. </p>
<p><b>Playing the Game</b></p>
<p>Tap on two cards that are free and that match in number to remove them from
the layout. If the layout is cleared, you have won the game. </p>
<p><b>New Games</b> </p>
<p>Select Deal from the Game Menu to start a new game with the same layout. To
replay the same game with the same cards, select Replay.</p>
<p><b>Options/Match Color</b> </p>
<p>Selecting this option forces to you not only match by number but by color as
well, thus increasing the difficulty of the games. For example, the two of
diamonds must be matched with the two of hearts. </p>
<p><b>Options/Gravity</b> </p>
<p>Selecting this option causes the remaining cards in the layout to fall once
two cards have been removed. This is a fun option and also increases the
difficulty. </p>
<p><b>Options/Background</b>
</p>
<p>Use this option to change the background color of the screen.
