Solitaire Alone Together

If you click Start > Shut Down and click OK, it’ll say “it is now safe to close this tab”, which I thought was a nice touch.

Oh boy, this is sooooo addictive.

Look, I don’t mind it but let us know - are you training some model on our inputs ? :)

1h agoHN ↗

(creator here!)

lol, no, I am not training a model!

But I DO record some games so that I can replay them later. That way if you log on and you're the only person, you can still watch the ghost of a past game. This isn't relevant right now (there are 500ish people playing! wow!)- I only show past games if there aren't active ones to show.

There is something weirdly fascinating about this. I think the combination of nostalgia, seeing others play without interacting and just the whole idea of it. Rather mesmerizing. Well done.

Wrong solitaire :(

I was hoping for the "all cards visible and one free slot to put a card in"

This is fun! I like the vibe of doing solitary activities in the “company” of other strangers. It’s neat. I like the screen saver

I can't suggest moves, though! >smile<

Always carry a deck of cards when hiking in the wilderness. If you become lost deal a game of solitaire. In a few minutes someone will come up and start suggesting moves.

Oh this is fun! I'm a big Zachtronics fan but didn't know about NERTS.

I grew up playing "double solitaire" (basically multiplayer competitive solitaire where you play on each others' aces) with my family and love it, and it definitely contributed to me making this site. So I'm excited to play some Solitaire Together!

Was solitaire always this hard, or have I forgotten how to play this game? I tried a few games and failed every time :)

42m agoHN ↗

Only something like 10-20% of games are winnable.

26m agoHN ↗

Maybe you're remembering the Turn-1 instead of this Turn-3?

Many solitaire games will not give you an unsolvable puzzle to play. I think freecell only had one (by accident)

Beautiful. I've always loved the aesthetic of Windows Solitaire [a] but felt strangely alone when playing it (figures). I'm reminded of a non-solitary solitaire, Nerts Online:

https://www.zachtronics.com/nerts-online/

a. And this version too, the backs of the cards are very pretty.

NERTS is fun, we play it with a group of our friends (fiends?) semi-regularly. But part of its charm is the inherent physical and verbal chaos... you can never reach all the piles, people's hands/arms collide with each other, drinks get spilled, names get called, alliances forged and quickly betrayed. It's a hoot.
