Solitaire After Dark is a solitaire roguelike set in a 1960s cocktail club, now drawn in a bold new cartoon style. 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, and their order changes the math. Watch their bonuses tick from left to right. Arrange the shelf; that IS the strategy. MIX THE COCKTAILS. Make a card wild, raise its rank, flip its suit, peek at face-down cards, burn 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, Spider (1, 2 or 4 suits), FreeCell and Yukon, Guaranteed Win deals that are proven winnable, and a new Daily Deal every day. THREE LOOKS, ONE CLUB. Cartoon Club, with faces that come alive, is the house style. Deco and Neon Pixel are one tap away in Settings. Cards lift, cast shadows and turn over like the real thing. FREE, NO STRINGS. No ads. No paywalls. Nothing at these tables is locked behind a purchase. 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.
