A new version of Pretty Good Solitaire for Windows is now available!
Version 19.0 can be downloaded from https://www.goodsol.com/download.html.
This is a big new version. It adds 9 new games, bringing the total to 1010 Games. You can see the new games in the New Games group.
But the big new thing is Daily Quests. Quests have been in Pretty Good Solitaire a long time - they were added in 2001 in what was called the "Quest Edition". While Quests have had their fans, they never really became popular. I suspect that was because they were just too long.
In the new version 19, Quests have been redesigned to be played on a daily basis, like the Daily Challenges you see in some solitaire apps. Every day, you get different game numbers to play, but they are always the same games as everyone else gets that day.
There are 5 different Quests you can play each day. They are the Klondike Quest, FreeCell Quest, Spider Quest, Pyramid Quest, and Yukon Quest. Each game contains the game that gives it its name, plus some other games. The Quests are 3 to 5 rounds and are played for points. You get bonus points for winning games, but even if you don't win, the object is to get as many points as possible. You can submit your scores to the high scores list.
Each day brings a new challenge! Not every game will be winnable, but most are (the FreeCell and Spider games are pretty much always winnable).
I hope you like the new Quests. I expect to be making them better in new versions. Tell me what you like or don't like about the Quests. Are they too hard or too easy?
Enjoy the new version!
Are you still going to add the new games in the Goodsol Solitaire Help page? Been checking it since those new games came, not there yet.
