- ICICLE v. 1.0
- A Windows Card Game
- by Matt Tagliaferri software.
-
- ICICLE is a Windows Solitaire game that drives most people I know crazy,
- because it's (almost) impossible to win. I myself have won a total of
- twice in my life, once on computer and once using Real cards. Thanks(?)
- to Dan "Bookem" Gydosh for teaching me this infernal game in college.

-
- NOTE: This Game is ALMOST identical to another game I have floating
- around cyberspace. The other game is called DISCARD. Below is a
- summary of the differences in the rules.
-
- Both games play exactly the same way. Four columns are displayed, and
- if matching suits exist of the four bottommost cards, the lower card is
- discarded by double clicking. The difference in the two games exists
- when an empty column is created.
-
- In ICICLE, the empty column can be filled with ANY King showing on the
- card tableau. If the King has cards below it, they will be moved with
- the King.
-
- In DISCARD, any of the bottommost cards from the three remaining non-empty
- columns can be moved to the top of the empty column. In this game, the
- covered cards are COMPLETELY covered. Since the object is to leave only
- the four Kings at the top of the columns, the user must remember where
- the Kings are as they become covered by other cards.
-
- I have found the DISCARD is easier to win, but requires a bit more thought
- (in remembering where the Kings are).
