XPat2
Description
XPat2 is a collection of patience (solitaire) games for the X Window System on Linux and Unix. The rules can vary by specific game, though usually involve organizing the cards into a series of "foundation" piles by rank, removing the cards according to specific collection rules, or organize in some other way. Each game has specific rules about how the cards can and cannot be moved in order to eventually organize/remove them all.
The complete list of included games is as follows:
- Baker's Dozen
- Blue Moon
- Calculation
- Canfield
- Free Cell
- Gypsy
- Idiot's Delight
- Klondike
- Michael's Fantasy (invented for this game)
- Midnight Oil
- Modified Canfield
- Monte Carlo
- Oonsoo (adapted from Hanafuda cards)
- Royal Cotillion
- Seahaven Towers
- Spider
Rather unusual for a computer solitaire game, the left mouse button will directly move the selected card to the most likely valid destination. To move a specific card to a specific destination, the middle mouse button must be used instead.
This game is based on source from a previous game known as XPat, which was, in turn, based on a Sun Microsystems version of Spider solitaire known simply as Spider.
