Odd then that there are, in fact, five excellent card games for you to play (it's my job to spot these things you know). There are a couple of normal games - Poker and Napoleon - that you can play against three (mercifully quick-thinking) computer opponents, and then there are the solitaire (or patience) games - Colours, Scottish and Czarina. All are smartly presented. The opponent-based games are great, but I was personally more involved in the patience games. There are fiendishly hard - playing all afternoon, I only managed to finish a hand of Scottish twice.

The two quid shareware version lets you play all the games, but you will get messages popping up telling you to buy the full one. This has all sorts of add-ons and other things on it.

Either version's well worth your money.

It looks fabulous, there's plenty of variety and you don't have to keep shuffling cards and dealing. Nice one.
