A new version 2.0 of Solitaire Wizard is now available! It can be
downloaded from http://www.solitairewizard.com .

Solitaire Wizard is a collection of 16 Klondike type games, including
Klondike, Double Klondike, Gargantua, and more.

Solitaire Wizard is essentially a small version of Pretty Good Solitaire with
just Klondike type games and is intended for people who just like Klondike
(which is the basic solitaire game that comes with Windows) and not other
types of games.

Version 2.0 brings Solitaire Wizard up to our latest technology. You can
now use Pretty Good Solitaire card sets in Solitaire Wizard (by default it
uses the traditional card set).

Klondike fans can download the trial version of Solitaire Wizard from

Featured Game - Moving Left
---------------------------

Moving Left is a two deck Klondike type game. There are ten tableau piles.
At the start of the game one card is dealt to the first pile, two cards are
dealt to the second pile, and so on. The top card is face up. The remaining
cards form a stock, which is turned over one card at a time to a waste pile.

There are eight foundation piles, which will begin with Aces and are to be
built up in suit to Kings. The object of the game is to move all of the
cards to the foundation piles.

In the tableau, building is down by alternate color. Groups of cards in
sequence down by alternate color can be moved as a unit.

The way spaces are filled is the unique aspect to the game. The rightmost
tableau pile, if empty, can be filled in the usual way by a King or a group
of cards headed by a King. All the other piles, when empty, are filled
automatically by the face up card or group of cards in the pile immediately
to the right. This gives the game its name - cards are moved left as
spaces are created.

There are no redeals.

The restrictive empty space rules make Moving Left somewhat more
difficult than its related games, Double Klondike and Gargantua. Moving
Left originated as a game called Triangle in a 1905 book.

Moving Left is one of the 660 games in Pretty Good Solitaire, which can be
downloaded from http://www.goodsol.com/download.html . It is also one
of the 16 games in Solitaire Wizard at http://www.solitairewizard.com .
