GTKabale is an implementation of the well known solitaire card game, only in a lazy version. It can be played with a minimal effort.
You move the cards with the mouse. Just click on a card to move it. If there is only one possible move, the card(s) moves by itself, otherwise you'll have to click on the destination. A click on the card back to the left flips three cards fron the ones on hand, a right click anywhere does the same.

SDL version of the game Shanghai originally created by Activision. This is a clone of the Amiga version with nice looking mah-jong tiles and shadows.

The object is to remove the tiles in pairs and clear the board.

Dear Mr. Ashley,  I am writing on behalf of Activision, Inc., the owner and publisher of Shanghai.

The main idea is based on the classic 'memory' card game but with a new feature.
All pair of cards is associated to an unique sound. In Marryampic mode, you hear a sound, you must identify to which pair it correspond, and then find the pair. But you can play like the original in the classic 'memory' mode, which is less difficult. You can then find any pairs. The sound of the pair is played when you've found it.

Many cardsets themes are available. See homepage.
No cardsets included in the game engine archive (need to be downloaded separately)
