Big, lovingly drawn cards, a table bathed in warm light, and a hand just waiting to be played: this is solitaire the way it should feel. No ads, no rush. Play one hand, then just one more. CLASSIC SOLITAIRE AND MORE • Klondike, the classic solitaire: draw one card or three, whichever you like • Spider with one, two or four suits, from cozy to properly tricky • FreeCell for everyone who loves thinking a few moves ahead • The Quiet Round: a hand with no clock, no counter, no score, just you and the cards • If you like, every hand is solvable. Or choose truly random, like back at the kitchen table • Undo takes back any move, Hint nudges you along, and every game will gently show you how it's played, step by step THE JOURNEY Why did the Queen of Hearts leave her cards behind? Play her hands, place by place: from the flea market at dawn along the seaside promenade, aboard the alpine train and through the rose garden, all the way to the northern lights and the last card. Ten stations, 120 hand-picked deals, and after every win the postcard from there tells you a little more. Stars reward clever moves, not speed. THE DAILY DEAL A fresh deal waits for you every day, the same one for everyone. Solve it, keep your streak alive and collect the motif of the month in the calendar. Gather all twelve, and the Collector's Deck is yours for good. A TABLE TO FEEL AT HOME • Rooms and places with a light of their own: kitchen table, café, by the fireside, conservatory, observatory, night train and the settings of the journey • Living backgrounds where northern lights drift and shooting stars fall. Or calm mode, which gently keeps everything still • Large print and a four-color deck, so clubs and spades never get mixed up again • Card backs to earn by playing, gentle sounds and a fine touch of feedback with every move A HAND FOR TWO The same hand on two tables: you play first, then pass it on with your move count. Let's see who needs fewer moves. No account, nothing but the hand is sent. FROM NOVICE TO ACE Wins, streaks, best games and journey points gather in your statistics, and rank by rank you climb from Novice past Friend of Cards all the way to Ace. And if you feel like it, compare yourself with the whole world through Game Center. The full version opens the whole journey, every game and the entire collection with a single purchase. For everyone who loves solitaire. And for everyone about to discover it. Lovely to have you here – the cards are already shuffled.
