- Cal's Brain Strain v3.01 ReadMe
-
-
- Solitaires differ widely in the opportunities they afford for the
- exercise of skill. Some are purely mechanical, while others torture
- the mind.
-
- Cal's Brain Strain is a variation of Calculation Solitaire.
-
- "Calculation stands at the top of the list of games that give
- opportunity for skill."
-
- So says the world's leading authority on cards & gambling, John Scarne,
- in his classic work, Scarne's Encyclopedia of Card Games. You've played
- all the other solitaires - but are you good enough for the king of them
- all?
