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.

Cut the stone, haul it, lay it. Build the pyramids of ancient Egypt on a living 3D construction site, idle or active. SMALL TO GREAT Start with Djoser's Step Pyramid, then Sneferu's Red Pyramid, and finally the Great Pyramid of Khufu: about 2.3 million blocks, 210 courses, 146.6 m. The Great Pyramid uses the commonly cited count; the other two are estimates from the Great Pyramid's blocks per volume. WATCH THE WORK UP CLOSE Swipe left or right to turn the site and pinch to zoom. See stonecutters striking chisels, sled crews hauling up the ramp, and builders levering blocks into place. The camera flies to every worker you hire. TAP TO CUT STONE Tap the screen to cut a block and earn gold on the spot. Hire workers and upgrade tools to widen the flow: cut, haul, build. The slowest job glows so you know where to hire next. PROGRESS WHILE AWAY Work continues for up to 4 hours while the app is closed, at a slower pace. Collect it when you come back. PYRAMID FACTS Each milestone brings a short fact about the kings, the quarries and the people who built them. ADS AND PURCHASES - A banner ad is shown at the bottom. No full-screen ads. - Optional videos: 2x speed for 5 minutes, or double what you earned while away. - One-time purchase "Pharaoh's Blessing": always 2x production and no banner ads.
