Title: Solitaire Game Name
Post by: jb on May 28, 2006, 12:34:08 AM

When I was a kid, I played a Solitaire card game that consisted of 8 columns of 6 cards and a hole of 4 cards. The idea was to place red cards over black cards in descending order and manipulate the cards so as to free each suit in ascending order starting with the aces. Cards from the hole could be moved to the columns thus freeing a space to move a card from the columns to the hole. Darn if I remember the name of that game. Does anybody recognize it? And does anybody knows if its available for OS X?

I know there's a basic version of solitaire, Solitaire XL (free). I have no idea about the specified version you are looking for.

I've played this game, but can't remember the name.  

If it helps, my solitaire game of choice has always been Solitaire Till Dawn from Semicolon software. It's available for OS X.

I have Solitaire Mania on CD - two dozen different games.

Tried to copy and paste a list of 'em here, no luck.
