Kristoon is a variation on the classic Blackjack/Pontoon theme where the objective is to get as close to but without exceeding a total of twenty-one. But Kristoon differs in that players can: ⁃ Only have a maximum of three cards ⁃ Offer a card to their opponents with the aim of bettering their hand ⁃ Swap an offered card to one in their own to better their hand Of course, an offered card runs the risk of being swapped for something else (and you will get that one back) or of being rejected by all your opponents so you get it back. Winners of the hand are awarded points (10 for Royal, 5 for Blackjack or 3 for nearest 21 otherwise. Matches are a set number of hands. Refreshingly easy to pick-up!

Canfield Solitaire is a popular solitaire game. The goal in this game is to get all 52 cards into the foundations. You must put the cards onto the foundation in order according to suit and rank, starting from the leading rank dealt at the beginning of the game, wrapping from King to Ace if neccessary. You can move either the top card or every card from one Tableau onto another Tableau pile, if the latter pile's top card is either one higher than the moved card, or the moved card is a King being played on an Ace; and in a different color. If both the Reserve pile and a Tableau pile are empty you can place any card you can normally move to the empty pile. Click the stock pile at the top left corner to deal new cards.
