No, that game plugin hasn't appeared yet. Are you willing to roll-up your shirt sleeves and begin working on that game plugin? I hope so, it would be a BIG WAF, at least with my wife! Maybe spirder solitare could then be added after that. I really like that version myself!
Here are the game plugins I have found:

For anyone looking for a something to do, there is an excellent Java effort called JSolitaire or Jolitaire that could be ported and supports just about every variation on solitaire that you can think of.
I wrote one for my g/f pre-MP days but the code has gone walkabouts and the fighting over the TV and remote puts me off wanting to do one for MP... at the moment anyway.
I'm guessing now, but I imagine using just like playing solitare without a mouse on Windows, using arrow keys (same as on a remote) and then whatever can be used as a select button (the spacebar on the keyboard). I would hope instead of a pointer (under Windows) the card would have an outline (as a visible user interface) to know where you are and where want to place the card (or pile). I just played a couple of games using the keyboard and it seemed ok. I am not sure if using a remote would be tire-some or not.
Upon pondering this question some additional time I had wondered if in the cursor (card position) logic if maybe you could only jump to the correct locations and skip over invalid locations. That way the amount of thumb (assuming the user is using his/her thumb to move the cursor/card-position-indicator) time is less. If you need additional explantion I will expand and try to describe my thinking.
Thanks for explaining. I found a passing reference to this here:

which I had overlooked in the past. I would find it logical for a created custom profile to be automatically activated, but until that happens, I will try to create a wiki page for the current...

I have used custom actions in the "Mapping" section of "HID" since moving to a FLIRC as a remote receiver a couple of years ago...
I've made changes to the media-playing overlays in BasicHome.xml and musicOverlay.xml, but I'm having difficulty finding the video-playing overlay used for the other screens. Isn't there a single overlay .xml that displays in MyVideo, MyMusic, TVSeries, MovingPictures, etc. like the musicOverlay.xml does?
Thanks!
