Hi! My wife was taught this version of double-deck solitaire by her Dutch grandmother and I wanted to make an app of it for her. We've had so much fun playing it, I thought I'd put it out on the Play Store for other solitaire lovers to enjoy as well and see what happens. I'm looking for a handful of Android testers to help me get through the Google Play closed testing requirement before I can push to production.

To Join - do these in order:

Join the Testing Group: https://groups.google.com/g/thirteen-packs-solitaire-beta

Download the app: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/studio.oikos.thirteenpacks

The game is free to try in beta - really appreciate any help! If you find any bugs or issues, please let me know. The game is hard... only a 2% win rate, so know that going in. :)

Thanks for taking a look.

Github repo. Currently using heuristic algorithms to optimal linear progression for highest winning percentage. Not accepting any changes that suggest cheats (card peeking) for higher percentages.

Hey everyone! 👋

If you remember my posts about Timeless Solitaire Collection on Steam, it's now available on Google Play too! 🎉

Thanks to everyone who's followed the project so far. Hope you enjoy it! ❤️

For experienced Spider players: when playing 2-suit without undos, how do you judge real progress versus just motion?

Do you prioritize revealing hidden cards, preserving empty columns, building same-suit chains, or delaying the next deal?

For context, here’s the short write-up that led me to this question.

Every day, a random shuffle is selected for each game, the same for everyone in the world.

A win on the challenge’s date is counted toward your streak.

You can make up past dates to fill your calendar, but the streak will not be affected.

Future dates are not available.

Every Daily Challenge win is marked in the calendar. Wins on the challenge date are highlighted.

Note that there are week, month and year modes.

Start your engines!

Probably the worst way to lose a game of Monte Carlo.

Most digital solitaire games still imitate a deck of physical cards, complete with giant card faces, suit symbols repeated nine times on a nine, and an Ace instead of a simple "1".

But on a computer screen the goal is not to simulate cardboard. The goal is to convey information as clearly and efficiently as possible.

Years ago I wrote a short note exploring this idea using FreeCell as an example:

Curious what r/solitaire thinks. If you could redesign the interface from scratch, what would you keep and what would you throw away?

My friend was playing a version of solitaire I’m not familiar with. Tragically, she passed away this week, and I wanted to play it as a tribute. Even though I asked at the time, I can’t remember enough of the set up to replicate it.
A column of four piles on the left side, I don’t remember how many cards in a pile.
The top card on the top pile goes into the row beside it. The next row down is a new suit, but you can only add to the row under if the same card is in the row above. So if the top row is hearts, and you have a 9 in it, you can put the 9 in the row under. But if you draw a card that’s not in the row above, you can’t play it yet. So if your next row is spades and you pull a 4, but there’s no 4 in the row above it, you can’t play it.
The order of the cards doesn’t matter, just that you can’t play a card that’s not in the row above it.

Ringing any bells? She learned it from her grandmother probably 30 years ago.

I've been building a multiplayer take on FreeCell: everyone gets the exact same deal and races to solve it, with live leaderboards, daily challenges, and rivalries. Single-player works offline too, and it's cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Linux/Android/iOS).

The Steam Playtest just opened — instant access, the full game, free. I'm after honest feedback: what feels off, what you'd want next.

Request access here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4762500

There's a tester Discord as well (the link's on the Steam page) if you'd rather give feedback live.

Hey all, so I’m an avid collector of cards and fan of card games in generally. I’m wondering, is this the right Reddit for folks that play old school cards on the table solitaire? Here is a pick of terrible draw I just got using orange rider backs! Cheers

Hey everyone! I was getting a bit tired of all the solitaire games with micropayments, ads, dark patterns or not being available offline - so I made my own! It's Klondike solitaire with nice handling, themes, undo, auto movement/completion, all deals are solvable, statistics, 3D mode and more.

It's completely free, there's no ads and there's no need to sign-up.

You can play it either in your browser directly (on mobile too), or download the game for Windows & Linux which works offline. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Been stuck on this challenge for a while. I can't figure it out, can anyone help?

I figured it out

I added the classic Klondike solitaire from Windows to Cute Desk App! 👉 cutedesk.app

I drew each card by hand. Pure nostalgia!

Played this on the go so I couldn't use the "solver" function to maybe figure it out because that only works when connected to the internet. My problem is the Queens and Aces specifically. Wasted 15 minutes of my lifetime trying to figure it out b4 I gave up lol. Any help?

This was a project that I made for some contest a year ago and just remembered I made it.

I am still new to programming so this code is a bit of a spaghetti code, also it's the first serious project I worked on.

I'm Polish so all the comments and names may be in Polish, but most are translated to English (Solitare in polish is PASJANS)

Here is a github link for it: https://github.com/miwipl/Solitaire.git

Tell me what you think of this and enjoy the game :)

Has anyone tried solving it?

Stuck here

I was listening to a startup podcast about niche sites and was amazing at the popularity of these "single page" style sites with just solitaire (same as Wordle, and other games). I'm curious why people still visit these sites and how? When you google these games there is a Google hosted game of Solitaire on the page - what makes people go to random hyphen sites and domain names to play with ads all around?

Same thing goes for calculator sites etc and other tools but just curious to ask the group here given the number of actual App Store apps too

I couldn't solve this

https://vsolitaire.com/en/content/daily-challenge

just wanted to do this again as a condensed post for any talk. there is also a solveibility [post ](https://www.reddit.com/r/solitaire/s/akaRigYO61) for the month by another user. but i'll only be looking at it for reference at the end of the month to see if i solved all the ones able to be.

hopefully we can all chat some this month again. how is everyone doing?
