## What is Flipflop Solitaire+?

From the creator of Sage Solitaire, comes a new Solitaire variant that breaks all the rules!

100% of deals are solvable!

Like its footwear namesake — Flipflop Solitaire+ is unrestrictive, creating a new game for fans of spider, klondike and other traditional Solitaires.

In Flipflop+ you can stack down, up, or even both ways on a single stack! 
Need to stack an 8 on a 7, or a club on a spade? No problem!

- but -

Be careful, you can only move a stack of a single suit!
It's fun and freeing, but still challenging and captivating.

It's Flipflops for your brain.

------WHATS IN THE “BOX”?

- Play Flipflop Solitaire+ from 1-5 suits!
- Track your best times, least moves, least undos, total wins, total plays, and more
- Over 10,000 numbered deals for 1-5 suits
- Over a hundred achievements
- Change up your backgrounds, card and card back color schemes
- Natural ambient binaural background audio
- A strong sense of relaxation

------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER

Flipflop Solitaire+ is sort of a sequel to Sage Solitaire in the sense that it's my second crack at the design problem of making a Solitaire game that feels like it was designed for your phone and not for a table.

To be honest this is how I wish everyone approached sequels. Usually a sequel takes the solution to a problem and duplicates it. This is why our expectations of game sequels are often more-of-the-same-but-better. I'd rather see more sequels that brought a renewed level of surprise and novelty, and I'm hoping that's what you find in Flipflop Solitaire+.

While Sage was all about trying to capture the feeling of a tight, easy to play, tough to win, zen solitaire game, Flipflop+ is about knots. 

In a typical Solitaire game, like Klondike, you're taking a knot of cards and untying it into sequences. Then you reverse those sequences into clean ordered stacks.

In Flipflop+ you take your knot of cards and tie it into other, hopefully better knots. Then you untie those knots into the final ordered stacks. Having so much control over the way your intermediary knots are constructed led to a lot more depth than I expected.

### 4/5 — Wow!

*2026-04-30, version 1.4.6*

As someone who plays solitaire often, I didn’t think such a simple change could make it so much more fun! Yes, there are bugs here and there, the automove is annoying at times, but you can still drag. Lovely game!

### 5/5 — Jeu très beau

*2026-01-23*

Jeu très beau et agréable à jouer ! ❤️🫶🏻

### 2/5 — Pas de traduction

*2026-01-08*

Pour le peu de texte… une traduction est un minimum… 
Les graphismes sont pas hyper beau non plus… il y a des solitaires beaucoup plus jolis

### 4/5 — Great game

*2025-12-22, version 1.4.6*

I’ve been playing this game for years. It is wonderful. Only issue is that achievements seem to be stuck. I’ve solved around 9500 ex single suits and it has shown around 5000 for quite a long time. Even after reinstall and restore.

### 5/5 — A developer that listens!

*2025-10-11*

I love this game! My last feedback was about the colors and they changed it - thank you 💚

### 5/5 — ルール自体は難しくない

*2025-09-23*

追記2  ルールがわからないというレビューがあったので、差し出がましいようですが簡単に普通のソリティアとの違いを書きます。数字が続いてさえいれば降順でも昇順でもOK、列の途中で方向を切り替えるのもOK。赤と黒を順番にするルールはなく、どの色でも関係なく置ける。続き数字をまとめて動かすのは同じ色でのみ可能、という感じだと思います。
追記　結構やりこんで上達したのに、ランキングが一切反映されません。 
 普通のソリティアをよく知らずに始めてしまって、それでも魅入られるように何度も何度もやってしまいました。その後いろんなバリエーションのソリティアを知って、ソリティアを拡張したのがこれなのかなとか思いながらも時々取り憑かれたようにやってしまいます。 何とかクリアしようと悪戦苦闘するうち、自分のプレイの理屈のなさを痛感したりもしました。

### 1/5 — Lost years of play history after ios26 upgrade

*2025-09-18, version 1.4.6*

I upgraded to ios26 and my entire playing history is gone. I tried backing up from my iPad, which was only a week behind in syncing with my phone, but the data doesn’t come back when I restore.

### 5/5 — So satisfying

*2025-09-02, version 1.4.6*

And relaxing. Easy, yet challenging.

### 4/5 — Game over

*2025-08-29, version 1.4.6*

So in the game it says every deal is beatable. Well at times I get stuck and the game dose not say anything. It’s atleast a very fun version of solitaire except the getting stuck thing.

### 3/5 — Could be a great game…

*2025-06-17, version 1.4.6*

I love this game except for one MAJOR point of frustration…the auto-move. Most other solitaire games will auto-move to the most beneficial pile when you click the card…this one just seems to move to the closest option, which makes for extra moves, or; worse, having to undo a move. On top of that, there’s no way to turn off this feature, so accidental clicks result in completely unintentional moves. For such a smart game, I would expect the designer to have put more care and thought into this. 
It’s a shame, because it makes what could be a great game unnecessarily frustrating at times.

Also, I’ve never actually quit a game on here…ever. Yet, somehow I show I’ve lost seven games…and the number keeps growing, despite never actually having quit a game. I’ve restarted several hands before finally winning and then se always count as “wins”…yet I keep seem to mysteriously increase in my number of games lost…I’m sure I cannot be the only one experiencing this!
