I never thought I'd become a Solitaire Guy but here I am in love with a collection of solitaire and solitaire-likes from a developer whose other games I'm too stupid to play. In order;
Sayawama Solitaire
A more refined and quicker version of Klondike, it tricks you into thinking that letting you to play any card in the freecell or empty column would make it easier, but it's just more options to block yourself. The most classic of the collection and the best starting point.
Sigmar’s Garden
Not really solitaire in the literal sense, more of a complex match up game, the whole board is visible so you can spend some time thinking about your moves. I didn't really gel with this one, but lots of people exclusively place this.
Proletariat’s Patience
Similar to Shenzen Solitaire but without the freecell. It's very easy to restrict your options quickly by locking away precious columns. Very cool aesthetic.
Cribbage Solitaire
Pretty standard cribbage, and the only one which shows how other players went in the deck since the open board can't be randomised. Proves that most players don't spend time to look further up the board to stratergise since most people don't win the games. Uses real NATO identification cards from the Cold War which is cool!
Cluj Solitaire
A fun variant where you can kind of cheat by putting any card on top of another but it locks the column until you place it back on an acceptable card or free column. It's the easiest one to fuck up and lose. Also has the worst design and the music is not enjoyable.
Kabufuda Solitaire
Classic Klondike but made hard by the fact that the suits looks similar which can be drain, gets progressively easier by unlocking freecells when you match a set up.
Shenzhen Solitaire
The best of the lot, similar to Proletariat’s Patience but you can lock the matching face cards into the freecell to clear up the board which is both a blessing and a curse. uses 3 colour suits which you think would make it easier but balancing the suits in the column is the big trick to winning. My personal favourite.
Fortune’s Foundation
I am too stupid and not dedicated enough to really get into this one. Very challenging with a reverse order face suit, only one with a undo function for good reason. By the steam community posting seems to be a favourite with Japanese people who exclusively play this one for hundreds of games.
