I have won all the games except for the following 8:
Boudoir, Bridesmaids, British Canister, Forwards and Backwards, Knotty Nines, Picture Patience, Queens and Jacks, and Robert.
If anyone has winning numbers for any of these games, I would really appreciate them. If any of you need winning numbers for any other game, please let me know. Thanks to all of you who have posted your winning numbers for other hard games, I was able to win with all of them.

Hi E, this puzzles me? how come these games remain unwon; you have a winning # for them all, because of your input etal to this forum we have only one game left to win which is senior wrangler; as i said in an earlier post its a big team effort; mwtodd@msn.com becky & todd nr1 uk

I searched the forum and can't find the winning numbers for these games. I had given up on many of them since my quest to win them all will never be fulfilled since I can not tolerate the luck only games. But since you say there are winning numbers, I would like to see British Canister win since I think it is impossible.

I think Mark is referring to #2174783647 which is the unshuffled deck. Technically, this is a legitimate # that could conceivably come up randomly like any other #, or is that just a rationalization?????

Becky and Todd, that's just it, I don't have the winning numbers for these games, I have looked but have been unsuccessful so far in finding the numbers. For the most part, I have won most of the games on my own over the years of playing PGS and have only recently discovered this forum, so maybe I've missed the posts that have given them out, but I have looked through all the posts that I could find and so far haven't found these particular numbers. As for Senior Wrangler here is my winning number 1252138240. Thanks for all of your help in any case:-)

Ken,

I think that is a rationalization, I know the unshuffled deck number as well, but I tend to think that it is cheating. I'd like to win these games with a shuffled deck. I am with Yvonne on the all luck games, they are kind of dull and I don't have the patience to keep trying them forever. I would like to win British Canister in particular as well because it has an appearance of some skill. So if there is a winnig number out there, I would love to try it.

Any luck, E, on your final 8? Paul, how about you? Have you won any more? BTW, sorry I didn't e-mail you any of my spider-type wins. I've re-tried them all, and I can't even get close to winning them again.

For anyone who is interested, I have won Bridesmaids number 324615297. It wasn't easy to win this game and actually required some skill. I'll post a solution if someone wants it.

How do you win any games with the winning numbers? I've tried and I still come up losing them, especially in 13 Packs, which is my Waterloo. What's the secret?

Anonymous,

I am not sure that I understand the question. When people post winning numbers, that means that the game can be won with them. To actually do it, usually requires the use of the undo button, the trial and error method. For some games like Free Parking, the winning numbers are virtually useless, because shuffling is involved. (shuffling is random, therefore, depending on your shuffle any game can be won or lost.) With 13 packs there isn't a good strategy, but some choices are better than others. My winning number for 13 packs is 903079041, if you can't do it, I'll be happy to post a solution.

Oh, I have used the "undo" button and I have gone back and tried the games again--but still, no go. At any rate, maybe it's more fun to try and win them just by playing them--it becomes more of a challenge.
Thank you for your input.

Paul, do you still have 30 left, or have you solved some more? What about you, E? Have you solved any of the last 6? I haven't solved any more. I've been too busy with visiting the folks in Iowa, and dodging hurricanes down here in Florida. Ken

the first trick is to move the 10s down to the second row then the 10d goes to the top you will get the jd but when you get to js do not play it yet as your diamonds gets stuck
many other place where you dont do the obvious though
if I win it again I will record the moves

Hi Paul,
I started my quest much later. Im about a year user of goodsol. I tend to play only hard and very hard skill to mostly skill. I cant take all luck. I can help with free parking if you like . It is one of my favorite games. They are all winnable but it takes time and replays. You can resuffle over and over by changing a move or two, but that seems unfair so I refuse. Im 126 or so and 0. Let me know if I can help. I have written down all the games you have submitted and plan to try them,

Thanks, The other Ken in Fla dodging hurricanes.

Thanks, Paul. How about starting me off with the winning numbers for Big Apple, Colours, Compass, Corners, and Czarina? Thanks for Leap Year. Worked like a charm (but that's not to say that I didn't have to play it at least 5 times before I got it!) Appreciate the help! Ken
P.S. to the 'other Ken'..where do you live? I live in Tampa.

Paul, the numbers for Big Apple and Compass worked like a charm. I tried your # for Czarina and it wasn't working after numerous tries. I gave up to watch some football, and came back to the game and realized that I had typed in the wrong number the first time (44 instead of 33 at the end). When I put in the right number it also worked like a charm. (If I could type I would be dangerous! LOL!) BTW, did you say you had a winning number for Corners? Cheers, Ken

Paul, what's your best score on British Canister? Mine's a whopping 14! At least you can console yourself with the fact that you have the highest average score of everybody with posted scores. Is this the part where we BEG the 3 people who have won this game to please post a winning number?

Hi
best score is also 14 and I have played it 427 times now ,still I am proud to average 3
I wonder if the winning games were using the unshuffled deck as certain games seem impossible unless you use this. still i would never use it
