GAMES...
Thoughtful Solitaire If you select Show Cards, the game removes most of the luck factor --
The only luck involved is that occasionally some games can't be won because of the arrangement of cards.
The program can play the game automatically in a fast, simple way (wins about 1 in 3 games).
You play one card at a time, and you can take cards off the four stacks at the top.
You can go back and forth in your game's history to try different sequences (like a maze puzzle).
You should win at least 4 out of 5 games.
