If you're at a party and the guests are really boring, then grab the plate of olives (and your martini), snag a cushy chair in the corner, and play solitaire.
The solitaire olive/malteser dish by Barford & André Klauser is a 20 cm x 20 cm ceramic dish. It is available online at Thorsten Van Elten for £23.50.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to play this kind of solitaire!
We can change the way we make eggs -- scrambled, poached, fried -- but what about changing the eggs themselves? Mix up your scrambling routine with quail eggs.

Looks more like Chinese Checkers than Solitaire.

That's too cool; it's based on an old brain twister. Here's how you play. See the empty space in the center? The idea is for horizontally or vertically adjacent olives to jump one another into an empty slot. When one is jumped it's removed/eaten. The object is to leave only one olive on the board, and, presumably not to get indigestion.

Ah, someone already said it! Definitely reminded me of Chinese Checkers.

The Cracker Barrel needs to replace the wooden peg game on their tables with these. Perhaps they'd do a version with okra bits instead of olives.
