Not that I know of. Maybe one or two of them has an animal name in their title.

I would've had this up not long after I first started this thread but this game that I've been playing off the cd of solitaire games I have I thought quit working. I just tried it last night and it started up, so it's good to be playing these again This one's called Blondes and Brunettes; no idea why. It might sound a bit confusing so I labeled everything. Ok, first at top left marked "A" is the dealing deck; B next to it is the discard stack which will fill up fast. D below that is where you're going to put down cards (the Tableau, I think). This is what makes it unique: instead of a lot of solitaire games where you can only put down a king (whereas some let you put any card down), you can only put down whatever card is started in this stack. Here it's a jack. That means whenever a card is dealt, ONLY jacks can be put down. Once a jack is put down then you can put down a queen on top of it, then a king, then ace, then a 2, etc. This follows the standard Klondike rule where the colors have to alternate, which a black queen would be next, then a red king, etc. At E is where you can stack up cards that hopefully you can place in the Tableau (D) later. Once you clear out a column a card from the discard pile is automatically placed in the cleared column. You wanna know what a huge load of crap is, though? Check out the horizontal column at top center labeled C. The first playable card is a black 3. Let's say as your game is going you've got enough cards stacked up at the bottom section (E) where you *think* you can put down that black 3. You can't do it, those cards can only go in the Tableau/D area. You'll be pretty lucky/you're evidently having a good game if you can even clear out a few cards in that area, much less the whole thing. This is like 40 Thieves where you can literally play 100 games and you're lucky to win even ONE game. It's tough to do but fun.

Which one is on the table this week? Actually I've been playing Blondes and Brunettes for months now. Once I get a really good one it stays for a while, then others I plow through until I find the next good one once I'm sick of it. Some of them are like "how the hell is this any different than the regular Klondike game? It's almost exactly the same! Next..." My dad sure did miss out on this one. Someone gave him this cd for Christmas one year (the one with the 100 Solitaire games on it) and he never tried it out, he just played Hearts on his computer. I installed it not long after he passed and have been making up for lost time he never spent on it.
