Introduction:
Kickoo's Patience is a program containing several solitaire games.
Solitaires are appreciated by a lot of people, some of them being very famous like Tolstoï, Napoléon Bonaparte (while in exile at St. Helena), and Franklin D.Roosevelt.
Today, solitaires are so popular that there are millions of people playing them around the world, but they often only play a few of them, mainly Klondike and Freecell.
There is hundreds of different solitaire games available; In Kickoo's Patience, we made a selection of different kinds of solitaires: some are famous, some are very easy (almost for kids), while others are very difficult and challenging.
We will regularly add more solitaires to the current selection, depending on demand.

Glossary:
Golf:
Golf is a very simple game to play, but quite difficult to win.
The object of this game is to move all the cards to the waste.
The top card of each pile is available for play on the waste: build in sequence, up or down, regardless of suit.
Only a two may be built on an ace and a king can only be played on a queen. Nothing can be played on a king.
When no card can be played, take another one from the stock and put it on the waste.
Fifteens:
Fifteens is a very simple game to play and to win.
The object of the game is to discard all the cards.
You can discard any set of cards, with a rank of 9 or less, that add up to 15.
Move selected cards to the waste; You can discard a pair (6-9, 7-8) by dragging one card over the other one.
Tens, Jacks, Queens and kings are discarded as a set (10-J-Q-K).
When a set is discarded, all spaces are automatically filled from the stock.
Klondike:
The object of the game is to move all the cards to the foundations, by completing four ascending suit sequences from ace to king.
The top card of the waste and any card (or a group of cards if they are in sequence) can be moved to the top of a pile if they are in sequence down by alternate colors.
Only kings (or a sequence which bottom card is a king) can be moved to an empty pile.
You may deal at any time three cards from the stock.
You can make the game easier by modifying an option allowing to deal only one card at a time from the stock, but while this option is active, no stats are stored.
Freecell:
The object of the game is to move all the cards to the foundations, by completing four ascending suit sequences from ace to king.
There is four available cells (storage locations for cards) which can hold one card at a time.
You can move a card (or a group of cards if they are in sequence and if there are enough free cells) to the top of a pile if they are in sequence down by alternate colors.
Any card may be played on an empty pile.
One interesting point to note about this solitaire, is that almost all games have a solution, so you can consider it as a puzzle to solve. The only deal that is known to have no solution (deal #11982) will never be choosen by the program.
Scorpion:
The object of this game is to group all the cards into 4 piles of 13 cards in sequence down in suit from king to ace.
Any face up card is available and can be moved (regardless of any sequence) to the top of another pile: build down in suit.
Three more cards can be dealt at any moment and will be added to the top of the three leftmost piles.
Only kings (or a sequence which bottom card is a king) can be moved to an empty pile.
La belle Lucie:
The object of the game is to move all the cards to the foundations, by completing four ascending suit sequences from ace to king.
Only the top card of a pile can be moved to the foundations or to the top of another pile, build down in suit.
Only one card at a time can be moved and empty piles can not be filled.
There are two redeals: all the cards in the piles will be reshuffled.
After the last redeal, you can benefit from what is called the draw card: you may select any card even if it is not at the top of a pile, but it must be moved immediately to the top of an other pile or to the foundations; This can be done only once.
You can make the game easier by modifying an option allowing to use the draw card at anytime, but while this option is active, no stats are stored.
Yukon:
The object of the game is to move all the cards to the foundations, by completing four ascending suit sequences from ace to king.
Any face up card is available and can be moved (regardless of any sequence) to the top of another pile: build down by alternate colors.
Only kings (or a sequence which bottom card is a king) can be moved to an empty pile.
The Wish:
The Wish is a very simple game to play and to win.
The object of the game is to discard all 32 cards.
Drag a card and drop it on a matching card and both will be discarded.
Tradition says that if you win, any wish you made before starting the game would come true ;-)
