The attached sound file is of a card being played onto another card. It could be used in place of the current BigSol final.wav sound file. I recorded the file myself and release it under the GPL license for free use.

In the Golf game, the Golf Help window shows the rules of Golf:
"...nothing can be played on to a King"
but Queens can be played on the King in the Waste pile.
Either the Golf rules are incorrect, or the Queen should not be playable onto a King in the Waste. The rules for only this basic variant do not allow this move.
All three Golf variants allow the Queen to be played on the King in...

It would be nice to be able to double-click a player name in the startup "Player Selection" dialog to select a player and continue. Currently you must select a name then click the OK button.
Double-clicking is already supported on the next dialog "Select game" where a double-click on a game selects it and begins the game, without needing to click on the OK button.

Multiple mouse clicks are accepted on the New Game button, which starts a new game, deals cards, then immediately starts another new game.
Eaxample:
If you were to double-click the New Game button, you would see the first new game deal out, then when the user should be able to start playing, the table would flip over and a second new game would begin. The player is not given any time to...

Pressing ESC during a game will end the game and give credit as a win, even though the game was not completed. An incomplete game should not count as a Win or for a Best Time.
When the player presses ESC, the game should end immediately, and count in the Total games count, as a loss. The game should not be counted as a win or for a Best Time entry.

The mouse wheel should scroll through dialog windows, such as "Best Times" and "Statistics", but it does not scroll on the Windows platform.

When starting a new game, game time begins counting when the deck is shuffled and before cards are dealt.
Elapsed time is meaningful only for actual playable time. I would suggest that time begin counting only after the cards are dealt and the player can interact with the cards. For some game types, elapsed time might be showing 15 seconds before the game has actually begun for the player.

A nice feature would be to save current player settings on exit, and load them back in when the player is chosen on startup. Settings should be saved separately for each player. It appears current player saves are in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\bigsol.nfo\Players\playername
Loaded settings could include:
LastGame : last type of game played. This could set the "Select game" dialog to the...

When a game is in progress but not yet completed, the elapsed time calculation appears incorrect after a long period of time, after roughly two hours.
The "Time" field in the status bar will show some mangled numbers like: 01:0-59915:0-698
If the game is won, a "New time record" event occurs even when actual time is longer than the previous best time. The new mangled time replaces the...
