Card Games

Freeware

Hearts
Developer:
Dave Mayes
A basic version of Hearts. Mayes is honest in his statement that "the Pilot's strategy is not extremely challenging to a good Hearts player." I'm sure my friend Theresa, who's quite the Hearts shark, would probably be bored to tears. For the rest of us, however, this is a nice enough version to pass the time. It is a bit too easy to "shoot the moon," but for idling away a few minutes in the airport terminal, it does just fine.

Patience 2.5.2
Developer:
Keith Packard
You cannot beat the value on this game. Fifteen, count 'em, fifteen card games, free in one Palm app. Aces High, Golf, Vegas, Canfield, Klondike, Wish, Calculation, Spider, Free Cell and more. Full-featured: includes hints and rules and autoplay for every game.

Pyramid Solitaire
Developer:
Seahorse Software
A really nice little solitaire game. The developer put some thought into this. There's a high score board, a record of your statistics (games played versus wins and losses), and even a web site where you can pit your high scores against those of other champions to have them recorded for posterity. Also available in color.

 

Shareware

Gin Rummy
Developer:
Tan Kok Mun, $12.00
Unregistered version allows 30 uses before inserting a delay before users are allowed to hit the OK button. I liked this, but the interface took a bit of getting used to. Additionally, there's no option allowing for human vs. human mode, but that's a minor criticism. Quite a few features, I'd like to see a better-written Help in a future version. Decent adaptation of the card game. Not fancy or sparkly, but decent.


Banshee's Pick for Best Card:
Patience 2.5.2

Runner-up:
Pyramid Solitaire
