Hi all.
The first version is the one with cards, well actually there's a whole bunch of card games that qualify.
The other one is sometimes called peg solitaire or marble
solitaire. There are three versions that I know about. Two are in a plus shape, one with rows of 3, 3, 7, 7. 7, 3, 3, and the other with rows of3, 5, 7, 7, 7, 5 and 3. The third is arranged as a triangle.
So in all of these you start with an open space, and you move by jumping pieces horizontally or vertically. You can only move if you can jump over another piece and land in an open spot. The goal is to leave one marble or peg on the board, though usually there's something
for leaving other numbers too.
I don't think I've seen any of the second type listed, which is a shame since it seems like it would work well for a touch surface. As for the first, some people complain that we have a lot of card games. But honestly, either I'm missing something, or we just don't have a lot of the basic ones. I'm thinking of not just
standard solitaire, but things like Aces Up, if anybody's played the Spoonbill games on Windows.
I mean, I love some of the more complicated games we've got that are technically card games, Dawncaster is amazing as just one example. But some quicker standard card games would be cool too.
