After installation, I tried out "Topsy-Turvy Queens" and beforeI knew it, three hours had passed! I might add that those werethree very enjoyable hours as I pitted my many (ahem) skillsagainst the computer. I played a total of 33 games and Iwon...(whisper) 12. But don't think I have given up because Iwill continue to play and hone my now doubtful skills!
Of course, "Topsy-Turvy Queens" is only one of the multitude ofdifferent games you can play. There are some very intriguingtitles like "Toad", "Blondes and Brunettes”, "Eight Sages" and"Twelve Sleeping Maidens". The various games have difficultyratings of Easy, Average, and Difficult and use either one ortwo decks of cards. Individual game rules are nicely written,easily understood, and can be printed out as well.
The interface can be changed to suit your personal color andbackground preferences, as well as your choice of card backs.You can also use any BMP or JPEG image to create personal cardbacks. I especially like some of the features like "You AreStuck" that lets you know if there are no more legal moves to bemade. You can utilize the multi-level undo/redo menu to makeyour game play as challenging as you like. You can view thehistory of your played games very easily with the manystatistical and scoring screens available in BVS SolitaireCollection so you'll be able to keep track of your performanceand progress. And you can publish your personal statistics onthe BVS Solitaire Collection web site and see where you rank inthe top scores list.
