Among the 100 new games are Agnes Three, Brazilian Patience, Buffalo Bill, Clock,
Fred's Spider, Little Spider, Mamy Susan, Mrs. Mop, Quadruple Canfield, Senior

In addition to the 100 new games, this version adds many new game groups,

Featured Game - Big Spider One Suit and Two Suits
-------------------------------------------------
Big Spider One Suit is a variation of Spider. It has 3 decks of cards, modified so
that all of the 4 suits in the deck are Spades.
At the beginning of the game, six cards are dealt to 13 tableau piles. Only the top
card is face up. The remainder of the cards form a stock.
In the tableau, the piles are built down in suit (or regardless of suit, since there is
only one suit anyway). Groups of cards in sequence down in suit may be moved as
a unit.
When blocked, clicking on the stock will deal one card to each tableau pile. As in
most Spider type games, all tableau piles must have at least one card in them
before you can deal from the stock.
The object of the game is to arrange all of the cards in piles of 13 cards down in
sequence in suit from King to Ace. When such a sequence is formed, the cards will
move out of play.
Big Spider Two Suits is exactly the same game, except that the 3 decks have 2
suits, Hearts and Spades. Tableau building is down regardless of suit, but groups
of cards can only be moved if they are sequence down in suit.
Big Spider One Suit and Big Spider Two Suits are two of the new games in Pretty
Good Solitaire Mac Edition at http://www.goodsol.com/mac/download.html. They
are also among the 760 solitaire games in Pretty Good Solitaire for Windows at
