    Latest Version

    Solitaire Till Dawn X 1.5.1 [Download]

    Requires: Mac OS 10.1.4 through 10.5.x. Compatible with Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, and Leopard. Runs on PPC and Intel-based Macs.

    Compatible with: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), but requires installation of Rosetta. Rosetta is included with Snow Leopard, but by default is not installed.

    NOT compatible with: Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or 10.8 (Mountain Lion). We are working on an upgrade, and you can follow our progress at the Solitaire Till Dawn blog, but for now Solitaire Till Dawn will not run on Lion or Mountain Lion.

    What's New: Version 1.5.1 fixes a small compatibility problem with Leopard, which only affected users attempting to purchase a registration key. Version 1.5 added five new games, and the long-overdue Start This Game Over menu item.


    New Games

    Five new games were added in version 1.5, bringing the total to 100 different kinds of solitaire! The new games are Double Scorpion, Intelligence, Klondike Holdout, Penguin, Tournament.


    The Games

    The games vary from the very simple to the very complex. Your favorites are here, along with some you may never have seen before. In fact, two of the games were invented especially for Solitaire Till Dawn! Some are easy to win, some almost impossible to win. Some require little or no strategy, for those times when you just want a little relaxation. Others offer great rewards to the strategic thinker, for those times when you want a challenge.
