The ultimate lightweight solitaire featuring simple yet robust rules for hours of dark-mode fun! Based on Klondike, 40 Thieves, and Bakers Game. VICTORY SLOTS The victory slots form the top two rows, and are marked with 'A'. To win, fill victory slots from same-suit ascending (Ace to King). BUFFER SLOTS Under the victory slots are the buffer slots. Buffer slots can hold only one card, and are used as a swap space. PLAY SLOTS Under the buffer slots are the play slots, filled with cards. You can draw from, and place cards here to help you win. To place, cards must be ordered same-suit descending (King to Ace). ROTATING DECK Under the play slots at the bottom is the rotating deck. Dragging from anywhere that is not a card or UI will rotate the deck. You may also use the mouse wheel. The rotating deck consists of specialized play slots (marked with a pentagon when empty). These specialized slots can only be taken from. If you empty a specialized slot however, it will thereafter behave like a buffer slot. GAMEPLAY Drag cards around to play. Tapping a card will have it attempt to move automatically, first to a victory slot, then to a play slot. If no move is found the card will shake no. If multiple moves are found, the card will shake excitedly and the available moves will be highlighted via the cards at the available moves rotating. Pressing and holding a card will try to move it to a buffer slot. Note the progress bar at the top must be full before you can let go. UNDO Pressing 'nevermind' will undo previous actions. It is recommended to use this strategically, as part of gameplay. You have a maximum of 2 full decks worth of undo's (104 undo's). ADDITIONAL NOTES Cards in the play slots will reveal themselves such that 5 cards always show face up (even if you use 'nevermind', they will still stay face up, and this is by design). Middle click or press spacebar to reverse the rotating deck's direction of travel. COLORS You may change the main card color, per-suit, of the cards from the main menu's 'Card Colors' section. You may change the hue and saturation per-suit to your liking.
