Rules of Some Patience Games from "250+ Solitaire Collection"
250+ Software Collection is a Solitaire/Patience game from Alexei Anoshenko, and it includes a number of new games. Some of these that interest me are Alina, Alpha Star, and Delta Star. I can't find the rules for these anywhere online so I am posting them here. I include screenshots from the game on my phone to confirm the rules.
