Re: My New Addiction - Appropriately Named Addiction Solitaire

I've been hooked on that one for a long time. I used to play it as a kid.

Look for my name on the leaders board on myway.com. If I don't end up in the top 10 each day I'm not a happy camper.

I have the version that I downloaded from Yahoo. It comes with a bunch of different card games, but I only play this one.

Understandably so.

I've never splurged for the download. Besides, it takes away the thrill of competition.

Re: My New Addiction - Appropriately Named Addiction Solitaire



OMG, Addiction Solitare!

Um, cough, yes, I've cough, been addicted to that.

I have the Gamehouse download for Mac which I paid for, and I think it worked out to about .0000000000000001 per game.

Best solitare there is. I think it was worse than my Collapse addiction. My Sims addiction hasn't beat it yet. (And that's saying something.)

Re: My New Addiction - Appropriately Named Addiction Solitaire

Er, for some reason I'm still addicted to Spider Solitaire. I have a free version on my home computer that I play constantly (especially when waiting for Web pages to load).

I'm afraid to think what would beat that. But Addiction is pretty close. And the Yahoo version makes it easy by highlighting the cards that can be moved.

Re: My New Addiction - Appropriately Named Addiction Solitaire

Bad Amy.

Hubby loves Spider Solitaire. I'll play it on occasion.

I, on the other hand, am addicted to Internet Backgammon. P's me off that I can't make comments like "Rats!" or "You Rock" to my opponent. It also makes me mad when I'm beating the snot out of someone and the "YOUR OPPONENT HAS LEFT THE GAME" window pops up.

Chickens.

Re: My New Addiction - Appropriately Named Addiction Solitaire

I'm currently addicted to Topsy Turvy:

http://www.kewlbox.com/games/game.cfm?gameID=80



It's like the Collapse-style games, but the twist on this one is that every so often the board turns one side. (It's a hexagonal board) This makes all the little balls fall into a new pattern.

Re: My New Addiction - Appropriately Named Addiction Solitaire

Double Bad Amy. Hubby wandered in while I was playing the Solitaire game last night. After I'd gotten offline, he wandered over to the PC and casually asked "Where's that game you were playing?"

He won the first time and declared it easy. He lost the second time and cursed the game. Won the third. Lost, lost, lost, lost......

He was still playing when I finally went to bed.

Re: My New Addiction - Appropriately Named Addiction Solitaire

I was into Collapse for a while, but got over it. I like the turbo solitaire and addiction solitaire. Alchemy is my ruination, and lately I've been playing tip-top)

Re: My New Addiction - Appropriately Named Addiction Solitaire

Curse you, Amy! I clicked.

Got 11 points the first game, 31 the second, went to bed. Looks like a lot of fun. If you download the version from that site, is it one of the limited ones that only gives you X number of games and then shuts down?

My other big weakness is the letter-board games, like Letter Rip at Kewlbox. What's really bad about those is, after a few days of playing a few games per day, I start dreaming about game boards, and seeing game boards in my head when I'm not actively thinking about something else. It's WORSE than getting a song stuck in your head! :Eek:

Nope, not me. I'm pluckyduck wherever I go. I just have to add lots of 7777's sometimes to nab the name.

Re: My New Addiction - Appropriately Named Addiction Solitaire

I won my first one today! Probably about the 9th or 10th game I played.

Re: My New Addiction - Appropriately Named Addiction Solitaire

Last night I had to delete the free card games on my PC

I'm getting a blank window when I tried to play the yahoo solitaire ... perhaps that is for the best.
