DroidGOX Card Games New UI

I forgot to put up a post regarding this but DroidGOX Card Games now features a new user interface  where there is more space in the gaming area and other game features are placed elsewhere to make it compact.

The timer is now in the bar below near the lower right and selecting a new game will have to be accessed from the sliding menu.

This will relieve some users the trouble of finding out how to select a different game unlike before where you had to long press the NEW button in order for the popup menu to appear.

I am sure you are exposed to sliding menus now. Facebook and other well known apps seemed to have made this a standard.

Happy playing!

New Game Added: Auld Lang Syne

Auld Lang Syne is a solitaire card game which is played with a deck of 52 playing cards. It is a game which is somewhat akin to Sir Tommy, except in the dealing of the deck.

First, the four aces are separated from the rest of the deck and placed on the layout as the foundations. The object of the game is to build each of the foundations from Ace to King regardless of suit.

Four cards are dealt below the aces, each starting a tableau pile. The player then determines if any of the four cards can be build on the foundations. In this first deal of four (and in succeeding deals), when a card is played and leaves a gap, it is not filled until the next deal.

Furthermore, there is no building or playing in the tableau. When the players has built all the cards in the foundation as one can, or if the cards cannot be played at all, a new set of four cards is dealt, one over each tableau pile.

This process is repeated until all cards are dealt.  There is no redeal.

The game is won when all cards are built onto the foundations. This is rare as, according to Morehead and Mott-Smith's The Complete Book of Solitaire and Patience Games, it can be achieved once in 100 games.
