A Solitaire Mystery

Been loving the game since before the Steam update and decided to play it again now that it’s been updated, and…

I took a peek at the Steam screenshots and was curious. Apparently, if you only have one move left, it defaults to giving you the ace of clubs, which is actually an invalid move…

On a similar note, you’ve probably been told that the undo button doesn’t work if you have a card in your hand, and it feels reasonable that right clicking would mean “actually, put this card back where I took it and don’t make this move,” as long as you have undo enabled.

Love the game. Couple questions about the detective one:

1. Is the victory text supposed to mismatch cause of death and murder weapon as a joke, or is that a bug?
2. What does "currently hiding in slot" mean?
   1. Will it update if card is moved, or locked in at reveal?
   2. Are "slots" only the free cells at the top, or the columns too?

Maybe I'm being silly or I downloaded something wrong or something but the Mac download of Version 1.5 seems to still be labelled in-game on the top left corner as 1.4d!

Hello, I'm encountering  a bug in Tap Solitaire-- I was playing as per usual and used the undo function (I say this because I think it's related?), and at some point realized that the game was only allowing me 2 tapped cards rather than 3. So, I undid a couple more times until I had no tapped cards, at which point I was only allowed to tap 1 card at a time, as shown below. Rip! Also, this was in Version 1.4d. I'm reporting this bug because I didn't see anything about a Tap Solitaire bug being fixed in 1.5... Apologies if this issue doesn't exist in 1.5. Also Also, I'm on a Mac, if that's relevant. Good luck debugging!

Hi, I'm encountering this error:

Error
steamworks.lua:15: attempt to index global 'Steam' (a nil value)
Traceback

steamworks.lua:15: in main chunk

Seems like there's some bugs in Baba is Solitare. Cards like to not revert to their previous state after being put in the right side and then undoing. For example, if I do "Baba is +5", then use the Baba 6 that turned into a Baba Ace to fill the right side, then undo to the point where before I set the +5, that card will still be a Baba Ace.

I'm playing Tear solitaire and where is the 3 of hearts? I can only count 51 cards that got dealt.

Hey there! I’m having an issue trying to run the game. I’m greeted with this error every time:

Error

Which is rather odd since luasteam.dll is present, but not luasteam.lua.

Nice

Apologies Arvi, but I have played about a 100 game win streak on Single-Card Solitaire and I can confidently say that the game can be consistently won*.

*Assuming that it isn't possible to start with too few 1s

Just wanted to report that at least so far have had no problems using this on Linux. Just need to open the command line in the folder where I unzip the game and run

love ASM.exe

Hi, I think there is a bug in Tap Solitaire (my favourite variant so far because it is so relaxed and still challenging) where it sometimes doesn't spawn all the cards. In this picture, the Keke 4 is missing. It doesn't really come to attention because the auto-pile feature just goes over it.

Hiya! I've been loving playing tap solitaire, but I recently discovered you can quit out to the main menu in the middle of a game, and when you go back into it the cards reset and a new game starts but the streak doesn't go back to zero. Just wanted to make you aware of this. 

(I haven't tried it with other solitaires yet, because I'm obsessed with tap solitaire. It taps into the goldilocks-zone of my focus.)

Hi! Love the game; any chance this gets a linux release?

Can anyone explain what the  "blank" cards in Fork Solitaire do? The ones that have a suit but no displayed value.

There is nothing in the explanation and I have been racking my brain trying to figure it out.

I set the window multiplication to x2, then next time I opened the game it only showed the upper-left corner of the screen. I can't even access the Settings anymore. Re-install doesn't even solve it. I am guessing the game is reading from some config file that I don't know the location of. What can I do? Can I maximize the window?

Great game!

Minor typo in the rules for Gardening Solitaire:

"Cards will be automatically be harvested from the garden slots."

This has been great and I have enjoyed every game I've played so far.

As a mildly colorblind person, your diamond and club suit colors are very hard to distinguish, and the symbols are pretty small. It hasn't stopped me from puzzling it out, but it has slowed me down or made me believe I was stalled out several times. If there's a "colorblind mode" or a way to better separate the colors of all suits, I would appreciate it!

fun fact: exactly one of these solitaires has factually incorrect information in the rules. can you guess which one?

make a linux(steamOS) build and my heart will be yours

I notice that sometimes the cards in stacks will pop out, letting me see what's underneath, but other times it doesn't work, which makes certain games more difficult (like time travel).

Will this ever come out on Steam/other platforms?

I really like the concept of Garden solitaire, but the lack of an undo button killed all but one of my games. I'd have it all figured out and then accidentally click the wrong spot in the garden every damn time.

I would love an undo button! I understand it might be hard to implement in modes that rely more on RNG but in something like 52 Card Pickup, it would be nice to be able to go back a step when you know you made a stupid move XD
