(introduces automatic card image sizing and more games)

Version Features/Changes
3.1.2

Fixes a minor cosmetic bug in Windows 9x versions that did not display version information in the about dialog.

Added the standard Ctrl+N menu accelerator key to start a new game.

Memory optimizations that make for a smaller footprint.

3.1.1

Adds the game of Spider Solitaire, one the the most popular double pack games, to the mix.

3.1.0

This version introduces automatic card image sizing. As you change the window size the card images change size automatically to fit the window. This offers you much more flexibility when placing Quick Solitaire on your screen.

Download Version 3.0

(the first version for 32-bit Windows)

Version Features/Changes
3.0.2

Cosmetic update that fixes image animation while dragging cards around the screen. Previous versions displayed a small image 'glitch' at the card corners while being dragged over the tabletop. This update fixes that bug so that the cards now maintain their smooth rounded corners while dragging enhancing the look and feel of the experience.

3.0.1

This is a minor update that adds the 'golf-clap' sound when you win a game. This sound file was accidentally missed in the conversion from 16-bit to 32-bit.

3.0.0

This is the first true 32-bit version of Quick Solitaire for Windows. Previous versions (2.x) were written for 16-bit platforms like Windows 3.0 and 3.1 but would run on 32-bit platforms like Win95, XP, etc.

Includes five (5) games (six variations all-together):

Windows Solitaire
This game (shown above) plays just like the standard game of Solitaire that comes with Windows. Its a variation of Klondike that is easier to win because of the relaxed rules.

Klondike

Klondike, often known purely by the name of Solitaire, is probably the best-known solo card game and one of the hardest to win when played by the rules.

Pyramid

Probably the second most popular game of solitaire due to its interesting layout and simple rules.

Golf (aka "One Foundation")

What seems like a simple game of sequence building to a single foundation becomes more challenging when you must decide between two cards. Choose wisely.

Gaps

A member of the family of Solitaire games that reveal all the cards in the layout.

This release includes all the features of the previous versions in a 32-bit environment. The program starts-up faster, runs faster and is generally more responsive and attractive since it now uses the new Windows XP look-and-feel.

Download Version 2.1

(adds new Golf and Gaps games)

Version Features/Changes
2.1.3
