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.
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.
For "Solitaire Together" instead, I recommend the game NERTS (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1131190/NERTS_Online/). It's a multiplayer competitive solitaire game by Zachtronics. Out of all the games I've played, it's the one that stresses me out and takes me through emotional rollercoasters the most.
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!
Can't remember if I saw it on HN or searched for it, but you can search for the hardest solvable freecell games. I drove myself partially insane trying to solve one. Only got about halfway before I caved
(If you don't have access to windows you can run one of those web based windows desktop lookalikes written in JS).
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:
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.
SAT! 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.
And if you leave the tab alone for a while there's one of the classic Windows screensavers
Oh boy, this is sooooo addictive.
Look, I don’t mind it but let us know - are you training some model on our inputs ? :)
(creator here!)
lol, no, I am not training a model!

So cool! Since there are some solitaire fans on this thread. Thought I would share a version that build with 2 decks https://d6.belsonbox.com

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 love these windows emulators
I can't suggest moves, though! >smile<

Was solitaire always this hard, or have I forgotten how to play this game? I tried a few games and failed every time :)
Only something like 10-20% of games are winnable.
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)

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