Product Description:

Joueur is the perfect card game. Put simply: there are no rules. We provide the cards, you play the game. If you know the rules to a card game, chances are you'll be able to play it with Joueur. If there's two of you using Joueur on a local network, you can play a game together - we call it Bonjour Joueurs! ("Hello Players!") There are many card games for Macintosh available out there - some of them are awesome. But often the games you'd like to play include rules or elements that are simply not accommodated by some software. For example, there are hundreds of variations on the game of Rummy. So what if you enjoy playing Russian-Three-Meld-Strip-Rummy-With-No-Aces-High? What about it's more obscure variant, Russian-Three-and-a-Half-Meld-Strip-Rummy-With-Only-Aces-High-and-Uttoxeter-Rules-on-a-Thursday-Afternoon? Do you wait for a shareware author to publish a Rummy game that allows these variations? Does such a shareware author actually exist to rise to this mighty challenge? Or do you simply launch Joueur? If your game makes use of a pack of cards or two, you can play it using this software.

I downloaded this out of curiosity, and found it to be quite an amusing app.

It's premise is to simply provide the player(s) with a playing table, and two decks of cards. The rest is up to you.

One thing that would have made this even more fun, (for me) would have been some kind of scripting language, to allow custom scoring. Also, being able to draw cards from a deck in an easier fashion, than what is provided, would also be welcome.

But on balance, the tools that are provided, are adequate for playing alone, or against other players. (As long as someone knows how the scoring is supposed to work.)

In any case, the opportunity is there to make a 'Solitaire Maker' application, where people can build their own solitaire games. Particularly if scoring and such could be taken care of by the computer.
