Solitaire (No Ads) is a clean, classic card game made for focused play. No ads. No tracking. No account. No pop-ups asking you to come back tomorrow. Just cards, and it's free. THREE GAMES • Klondike — the solitaire you already know. Draw 1 or Draw 3. • FreeCell — every card face up from the start. Almost always winnable. • Spider — one, two or four suits, depending on how hard you want it. Each game keeps its own scoreboard, so your Klondike record stays yours. HELP WHEN YOU WANT IT, NEVER WHEN YOU DON'T • Hint highlights a good next move. • Wizard plays that move for you — slowly, so you can see where the card came from and where it went. • Coach Mode gently flags a less-than-best move and explains why. Leave it on while you learn the patterns, then turn it off. • Undo takes back as many moves as you like, and never costs you score, so you can explore a line instead of guessing. • Solve appears once the game is clearly won and finishes it for you. MADE TO SUIT YOU • Easy, Medium, Hard, or Random. • Put the stock on the left or the right, to match your dominant hand. • Hide the timer if you'd rather play relaxed. • Sound on or off. • Works offline — on a plane, on the subway, anywhere. Play at your own pace. Restart whenever you like. Nothing here is trying to get your attention. Features: - Classic solitaire gameplay - Free to play - No ads - No account required - Works offline - Simple, clean design - Coach mode, to help you sharpen your play

About

Salvage Protocol

Features
Read full description

Salvage Protocol is a deterministic turn-based tactics game. There is no dice, no hit chance, and no critical rolls — damage is fixed and every outcome is knowable before you commit. Winning is pure planning, positioning, and reading the enemy. Lose a unit and it's gone for the run. Command a squad of salvaged combat mechs across a 6×8 grid. Pick your chassis, spend each unit's move and action, line up attacks, and use once-per-battle special abilities — dash strikes, shockwave slams, and armor-piercing shots — to break the enemy formation. FEATURES • Deterministic combat — no RNG. Damage previews are exact; if you can read the board, you can win. • Four modes — a 10-level campaign with a mid-boss and a final boss, plus Endless, Daily Challenge, and Puzzle Challenge. • Five distinct mech chassis, each with its own stats and special ability. Build the squad that fits your plan. • Star ratings, achievements, and stat tracking to master every mission. • One-handed portrait play, tuned for quick tactical sessions. • Fully offline. No account, no internet, no servers — your progress stays on your device. • Accessibility options — reduced motion, combat speed, colorblind support, and volume controls. Free to play. An optional rewarded ad lets you revive a fallen squad — it is never required to progress. No dice. No excuses. Just tactics.
