## What is Solitaire After Dark?

Solitaire After Dark is a solitaire roguelike set in a smoky 1960s cocktail lounge. Each Night deals a fresh Klondike board with a Heat target - you don't have to solve the board, you have to make it score.

EVERY MOVE SCORES. Chips x Mult across your shelf: reveals, foundation plays, emptied columns, chains - and Trysts, when a Queen lands on her King and the whole table heats up.

CHARM THE REGULARS. Fifty-plus club patrons join your shelf as relics, and their order changes the math. Arrange the shelf; that IS the strategy.

MIX THE COCKTAILS. Tear a card into wildcards, fuse two into one, peek at face-downs, destroy a dead card. The rules are more of a dress code.

SURVIVE THE VIPS. Boss Nights impose house rules - The Tease, The Bouncer, The Rush. Plan a week ahead and build for them.

A SEASON OF NIGHTS. Eight Weeks, Tips and interest, Memberships, Outfits, Floors to climb, a Guest Book to fill - and seeded runs to share.

OR JUST PLAY CARDS. Classic Klondike, Draw-3, Vegas, Winnable deals, Spider (1, 2, or 4 suits), and FreeCell - all dressed for the evening: living-portrait cards, club lighting, a swing soundtrack.

FREE, NO STRINGS. No ads. No paywalls. Nothing at these tables is locked behind a purchase - every Night, every Regular, every classic table is just there. If the house treats you well there is an optional tip jar behind the Support Us door. A tip unlocks nothing. It just keeps the lights on.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-07-22*

Fun game. i think the after dark mode can be a bit more fair, especially on the amount of times i can cycle through the cards but overall I guess this is what rogue-lite means.

Still a lot of fun and better than all the other paid solitaires on here.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-09-10

The biggest update to the club since launch. Here is everything new since 1.4, in plain words.

NEW WAYS TO PLAY
• Late Invitations. On Opening Nights in Weeks 5 to 8 the house names one suit. Bring that foundation home, Ace through King, and take an extra $2 in Tips. It is optional and never blocks Cash Out.
• The Favor. Spend banked Heat on One More Pass, an extra undo (Take It Back), or an extra hint (A Word).
• Overheat keeps climbing. From Week 5 the bonus ladder goes past 200% and up to 20x, so a huge Night keeps paying.
• Late house rules. From Week 5, ordinary Nights alternate Changing Partners and Level Heads. The map tells you before you deal.
• First Build Pays. From Week 5 on Floor 3 and up, each card earns build Heat once per Night.
• The Heat tab. From Week 5, extra trips through the stock cost Heat, and your next scores pay it off first.
• Perfect now also counts when all four foundations are complete.
• Charms go home. A Charm can fill any gap in a foundation, and Smart Tap no longer spends it on the wrong pile.

THE SHOP
• A new shop. Browse everything as tiles, tap one to read about it, then buy. Purchases fly to their spot on your shelf, glass, or deck.
• The shop special now upgrades one of your own cards instead of adding a new one.
• A Deck & perks page shows everything you own.

NIGHTS
• Cleaner scoring. Each play prints one clear receipt, then one milestone. Portraits stay visible under a softer shine.
• Better hints. Hints point to useful moves, explain setup moves, and show numbered markers for five seconds. Replay the last hint free while the board has not changed.
• The rail shows END NIGHT below the target and CASH OUT with your exact Tips once you qualify.
• One tap reveals the whole Night result, and it now features your best play of the Night. Tap the verdict banner to jump straight to the receipt.
• Undo history survives leaving and resuming a Night. Last Orders offers Use Undo or The Favor directly.
• A soft tap on iPhone for card placements and Night milestones. Turn it off under Haptics in House Comfort.

MENU AND COMFORT
• The Queen of Hearts and the King of Spades now greet you on the main menu, in both House Styles.
• Reduced Motion covers all the new effects.
• The game now shares anonymous play data (Night outcomes, scores, crashes) so we can tune difficulty. No account, no ads, no tracking. Turn it off under Share Anonymous Play Data in House Comfort.

Thank you for playing.

### 1.4 — 2026-08-28

Solitaire After Dark is now free.

No ads, no paywalls, and nothing at the tables locked behind a purchase - every Night, every Regular, and all seven classic tables are simply there, for everyone.

A new Support Us door on the main menu says so plainly. Behind it: an optional tip jar if the house has been good to you (a tip unlocks nothing - it just keeps the lights on), and a shelf of the other games we make.

Thank you to everyone who bought the game when it was paid. You made the free version possible.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-16

Velvet now teaches. A guided lesson deals a real hand and walks you through it card by card, then keeps the tips coming while you play it out. Perfect for anyone who has never played solitaire or wants a refresher. Find it any time from the learn solitaire chip on the menu.

The table also speaks up when a deal has no moves left, so you are never left staring at a dead board.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-11

The Second Season — our biggest update yet, built for clarity.

• House Style: one switch in Settings dresses the whole game. Keep the classic Neon Pixel look, or step into After Dark Deco — redrawn cards, art-deco menus, and larger, cleaner type that is easy on the eyes.
• The living deck: guests now carry portraits, moods, and glances of their own.
• Nights with meaning: story beats as you play, callbacks the next Night, a week that builds to something, and epilogues when the season ends.
• The Guest Book remembers — including the connections between your Regulars.
• Gentle House: a protected first fine, reduced motion, larger text, and unhurried timing options.
• Game Center fixes and many small improvements throughout.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-08-01

Achievements really work now.

The club has been handing your achievements to Game Center all along and Game Center was never hearing them. That is fixed. Sign in, play a Night, and everything you have already earned catches up on its own - no action needed, nothing lost.
