Notes
Some of these games are adapted from Wikipedia, Captive_Queens, Contradance_(solitaire) and Sultan_(solitaire).
Others are variations of other Pysol games. Most are simple "tap and click" games with enough redeals to insure frequent wins. Tap "deal" and right click the waste stack. The end result will depend on the sequence of the deal. Others allow some planning.

Auto drop is disabled for most of these games as that would make the them play automatically by holding down on the "deal" key. Setting the option:

may make those games somewhat boring for some players.

Captives games: Captive Queens
The next to higest ranks play to the center row stacks, thus Captive ..., the top row stacks build down with wrap to the highest and the bottom row stacks build up to the second from higest.

Dancers games: Contradance
The top row of stacks builds down with wrap to the higest rank card of the deck, the bottom row builds up to the next to highest.

Kings games: Sultan Plus
These games allow for a bit of planning during play. Use the reserves to "stash" cards that will play to the foundations "soon".
