Some of the graphics on the back of cards in Microsoft Windows Solitaire display
animated effects. To activate the animation in Solitaire, choose Options from
the Game menu and select Timed Game. The animation does not work unless you play
a timed game.

MORE INFORMATION

Example
-------

If you select the Robot Deck and are playing a timed game, the back of the
playing cards will be animated (that is, the lights will blink and the dial will
move on the robot picture). Other decks display different animation. The
following table describes each deck's behavior:

  Deck         Action                     Time Period
  ----         ------                     -----------

  Robot        Lights blink, dial moves   Constant

  Castle       Bats' wings move           Constant

  Palm tree    Sun sticks tongue out      Every 30 seconds

  Poker hand   Ace pokes out of sleeve    Every 15 seconds
