This list was started as a personal service offered to the readers of CONSIM-L back in 1991. Members contributed to building this list. After my sudden departure from the web, it was taken over and maintained by Markus Stumptner and eventually posted on WEB GROGNARD. I have decided to take the list back and complete it with new additions. I have added the list of all articles I have found either from my own info, or culled from Web-Grognard, with the idea that any information or variant about a game can help the solitaire player. Furthermore, I received a list of games with solitaire potential from Daniel U. Thibault, and I have incorporated the "wargames" in this list. I would heartily recommend that users of this list refer also to the information which can be found at Web Grognard with respect to most of these games, offering errata, variants, etc. The list is posted almost simultaneously on my web site, Web Grognard and rec.games.board for better access by gamers.

If someone knows any newer games that are either solitaire or have solitaire-only scenarios, please tell Markus or myself.
