Moving the cards is reasonably obvious. Assuming you have a
right-handed mouse, left-click on a card and drag it somewhere.
Release the mouse button to deposit the card.
If a card can be moved to the foundation(s), you do not need to
drag it. You can double-click on it and it will move. If a sequence
of cards can be moved to the foundations, you can generally move
the sequence as one move.
Double clicking a card will send it to a foundation, if that is
possible. This is useful for cleaning up large numbers of cards at
the end of a successful game.
In games which have a stock pile you can redeal it by clicking on
the empty space where it was. Be warned that some games only let you
do this a limited number of time. Watch for the Redeals Left message
at the bottom of the window.
A useful tip to know is that right-clicking on a face-up card
which is partially obscured by a card laid over it will raise
it so that you can see what it is.
There is an alternative way to move cards. By selecting
Click to move from the
control menu you can click once to pick up a card
and then click again to place it. This can be faster than dragging and
will be easier on your hand since you don't have to hold the mouse
down. However, it may take a while to get used to.
Some games have options to change the way the game is played. For
example Klondike can be played with either single card deals or
three-card deals. In these games there is a separate menu with the
game's name. You can only change the rules of the game at the
beginning of the game - the menu will be inactive during the game.
Statistics on how well you have done at a particular game are
available by selecting Statistics from
the Game menu. Only games where you actually
start moving cards are counted. The statistics are here for your own
enjoyment, there are numerous ways to cheat and it is unwise to
make comparisons.
