Hi. Ever heard of The Zachtronics Solitaire Collection?

These guys have gotten pretty good at making solitaires. Some other devs have made their own (e.g. Babataire), but I want more! Make me some solitaires, internet servants!

Ahem. So the only theme for this jam is to design a solitaire game, whether it be played with cards, marbles, or any other strange object you come up with. A solitaire game means a short-term puzzle game focused on solving individual, randomly generated boards, rather than a traditional puzzle game with hand-crafted levels. (You can have a library of precalculated starting boards to ensure they're all winnable, but randomly select from those.)

Of course, you're allowed (and encouraged!) to bend the above definition and really ask the question: what is a solitaire game? Get nice and philosophical.

RULES:

  • Your submission must be a solitaire game (duh). It can be physical only (i.e. documents to be printed), but I strongly suggest making a digital version as well, for convenience and accessibility. Bonus points for a Web build, bonus points for submitting both printable cards and a digital game.
  • Teams of any size are allowed (including 0, negative sizes, and complex numbers).
  • Games will be played and manually ranked by me live on YT on the 2nd of December. No prizes apart from bragging rights and popularity.
  • NSFW is allowed [ ;) ], but select the appropriate tickboxes in itch.io's Metadata tab in your project, and please please have a SFW thumbnail and screenshots.

That's it. Enjoy.
