This app is a small and focused collection of solitaire games,
designed to let you enjoy the rules themselves without distractions or extra effects. Klondike and FreeCell are always available for free,

on a rotating basis, letting you casually explore different rules over time. With the paid unlock, the daily rotation restriction is removed,
and all games become available whenever you like. This setup works both for players who enjoy a light daily rotation
and for those who prefer to freely choose and focus on their favorite rules.
