Easy to learn, tricky to master

Great work on this app George, I really love how intuitively easy it is to play.It’s interesting how forward thinking I have to plan in order to get to winning situations.

Lives up to the name “chess of solitaire”!

Impressive puzzly, and sometimes counterintuitive. I like how it has no randomness/unknowns once the game starts, unlike most solitaire card games. Would love to have the ability send a given layout to a friend, even just by copying the “seed” of the random number generator and having them paste it in.
