Is Lucky Fan #3 winnable? Don't give me the solution if it is. I just would like to know if it is winnable. |

I'm pretty sure that Mrkus said that the first 5000 Lucky Fans are winnable.
BTW...... A suggestion for your new PGS project could be "Little Picture Gallery". The stats are VERY vulnerable. You could be #1 quite easily. Please let me know if you fancy giving it a go. Playing from #1 upwards only #7 is unwinnable so far. I won't be posting my stats so you are in with an excellent chance. |

I'll give that a try. Also, Markus meant Free Fan is always winnable. I don't think Lucky Fan is. I'm pretty sure that #3 is a loser. I'll let you know how I fare with "Little Picture Gallery" unless the cards are small, then I'll have to pass. My one good eye can't see those little things. |

Well, I won #1 in "Little Picture Gallery", but I'll have to wait until later to play the next. I still can't get rid of this headache, and it's hard to concentrate. It looks like I might like it though. BTW, I'm starting anew on most of the games, just not Buffalo Bill and Rainbow Fan. I've played so many of both that I don't fancy starting over again. It's taken me years to get as far as I have, playing off and on when I don't have a new project. |

You're correct about my Free Fan/Lucky Fan confusion. I'd had no luck with FF #3. My mind is not organised sufficiently for this style of game. I doubt if it's winnable for all that's worth.
L.P.G. is a pretty good game. It has a high win rate but many of the games require a fair bit of thought. I had to play two or three of them more than once before I got them to oblige. You only need 52 winners to be at the top of the table. You don't need to be in any hurry. Undo,redo,restart until your heart's content. Looks like the table topper has lost interest anyway. For a game with a 99% win rate it is strange that #7 doesn't even have a single legal move. |

Free Fan #3 is winnable. At least in 101. I don't know if it is different in PGS. I guess I will have to take a look. |

FF #3 is winnable in both 101 and PGS. L.P.G. #1 and 2 are winnable. |

I didn't read the rules. I was trying to win it with a maximum of three cards per pile. No wonder I couldn't win it. |

We forgot about my Lucky Fan #3 game, but in my opinion I think it's unwinnable.
BTW, if there's anyone reading this post who likes to read, I've got a great book I'm reading that I can't put down. The name of the novel is "Dimiter", and it's by William Peter Blatty, who wrote "The Exorcist". However, it has nothing to do with that subject. It's a detective story/thriller/faith combination. Mike, you like to read. I'd highly recommend it. It also has humor in it. Just a heads up to anyone who's looking for a good novel. |

Lucky Fan #3. No hope on my tries. |

I can score 22 with Lucky Fan #3 Kathy. I'd say it is unwinnable. |
