The History SolMan started as a computer Solitaire collection almost 40 years ago. In this time, game designer Tim Mangan has evolved what Solitaire can be when freed from the limitations of having to manually shuffle and arrange cards. One interesting side-effect of computerizing games is that some games, like Crazy Quilt, that had previously seemed nearly impossible to win out prove out to be winnable a reasonable amount of time. This had led to the development of games using more decks of cards, and in more patterns. Over time, Tim has learned how to tune games by modifying rules to change attributes like difficulty, risk, and planning.

How To Download Version 5 of the SolMan Collection is avaiable now via this link for FREE from the Microsoft Store. You'll need Windows 10. The games are very touch friendly, and the backgrounds rich and diverse.

This fifth version is quite a step from the original SolMan...
