Arachnid Solitaire - Arachnid Solitaire Arachnid Solitaire is a form of computerised solitaire card game for a single player. It came by its name because it uses a double deck of Anglo-American playing cards and hence has eight suits to work with. Arachnid is an extremely tricky game to complete successfully because a suit must be entirely completed before it is moved off the array, and there is not a lot of room to manouevre. Additional points are gained for keeping completed suits in play until all eight are complete. To make things easier for the novice player, the game offers an unlimited 'cheat mode' where moves can be undone right back to the beginning of the game, a partial cheatmode where moves can only be undone to the last.

Dominoes - (or, All Fives or Five Up) Points are earned when a player plays a bone with the result that the count (the sum of all open ends) is a multiple of five. The points earned are equal to the sum of the ends. Therefore, if in the course of play a player plays a bone that makes the sum of the ends 5, 10, 15 or 20, the player scores that number. All pips on a crosswise doublet are included in the count. Each player takes five bones (four players) or seven bones (two players). If the leader plays the 6-4, 5-5, 5-0, 4-1, or 3-2, the count is evenly divisible by five and so the player scores. If, later, the ends before play are 2 and 4, the next player.
