A Solitaire Mystery

A Solitaire Mystery is a collection of 30 solitaire games. Many of the included solitaires follow rules similar to Klondike, where the gameplay involves moving cards between piles according to specific stacking rules, and the goal is to create four sequences of cards of four suits in ascending order.

The game keeps tracks of the length of the victory streak for each solitaire. Most solitaires allow undoing moves.

The included solitaires are:

• Tap Solitaire: A fairly traditional solitaire involving stacking cards. Up to 3 cards can be placed sideways to start new temporary stacks.
• Babataire: A combination of solitaire and Baba Is You. The player can use special rule cards to compose phrases that change the rules, for example changing one suit into another.
• Eldritch Invasion: A fantasy-themed game where the player has to defeat 16 monster cards by matching them with number cards of equal value.
• Transmutation: The player combines cards to create new ones with higher values than normally available, aiming to pile cards from 1 to 26 on the goal slot.
• Council of Secrets: A Werewolf-inspired solitaire where the player solves a traditional card game while deducing the identities of 12 hidden face cards based on their movement patterns.
• Royal Flush Solitaire: The player scores points by constructing poker hands from sets of 5 cards. The goal is to get 240+ total points.
• Megataire: A traditional solitaire involving stacking cards, but with eight suits instead of four.
• Lock Solitaire: Every time a card is moved into a slot, that slot becomes locked for 2 moves.
• Uneven Solitaire: Features different rules for placement (even/odd alternating pattern) versus picking up stacks (same suit or same value).
• Cheatdeck Solitaire: The deck consists of just two types of cards. Gameplay involves combining cards of identical types into groups, and placing groups of given size on goal slots.
• Single-Card Solitaire: All cards in the decks are identical. They can be combined into groups whose size determines their value. The player must create four descending sequences from 7 to 1.
• Binary Solitaire: Uses cards valued 0 and 1 that combine into groups whose value is determined by the comprising binary digits. The player must create four descending sequences from 7 to 1.
• Limited Move Solitaire: Each card can only be moved a limited number of times, equal to its value.
• Chaotic Solitaire: After each move, the moved card randomly swaps with another card on top of a different slot.
• Swap-a-Taire: Every moved card swaps places with the previously moved card.
• Hanoi Solitaire: Cards move one slot at a time on a 3x2 grid, using "Towers of Hanoi" logic: you can only place cards on higher-value cards.
• Fork Solitaire: The player can split a stack into two branching sub-stacks.
• Solitairdle: A Wordle-inspired game where the player uses cards with imprinted letters to guess a 5-letter word.
• Single-Stack Solitaire: The entire deck starts in one stack, and the player manipulates it by moving cards to the top or bottom to eventually sort all suits.
• Tear Solitaire: The player can tear up to 4 cards in half, with halves acting as wildcards for their suit.
• 52-Card Solitaire: All cards start scattered on a large table surface, and can only be moved onto cards of higher value or to a sufficiently large free area of the table.
• Time Travel Solitaire: The player can use "time machines" to receive helpful cards from his future self. However, each received card must be sent back within the indicated number of turns, or else the player loses.
• Garden Solitaire: Cards represent different crops, which can be moved into a 3x3 garden grid. Groups of the planted crop cards must have the correct shape and value to be harvested back into the deck. The goal is to harvest all the cards.
• Solartaire: Uses special cards with dual suits ("suit" and "aspect") corresponding to eight planets. The cards are moved between eight planet stacks, with each move advancing the orbits of two planets; cards can only move between same-orbit planets.
• Double-Sided Solitaire: Uses 25 double-sided cards (red/blue with values 1-5 each side). The player can flip the top card of any stack at any time. The goal is to sort the cards into five stacks of descending order.
• Murder Mystery: A combination of solitaire and puzzle game. The player must solve a murder case by questioning party guests (face cards revealed during play), determining both the killer and murder weapon from unreliable testimonies.
• Circuit Solitaire: The cards are all placed in a grid, and are equipped with electric circuit lines, which conduct electricity originating in four corners of the grid. Akin to games like Pipe Dream, the player is encouraged to keep an unbroken electrical circuit throughout the grid as the cards are moved. Moving a card that isn't part of a working circuit costs electricity points, which must be regained by placing cards on the goal stacks.
• Tabula Rasa Solitaire: Most cards start without defined suits or values. The player must resolve their identities through legal moves while avoiding creating impossible cards.
• Lock-and-Key Solitaire: Four slots are available for card stacking, but three slots are locked and require filling adjacent holding slots with specific cards to unlock.
• Ferret Rabbit Carrot: Based on the classic river-crossing puzzle. The player must move all cards across a river while preventing ferrets from outnumbering rabbits or rabbits from outnumbering carrots on either side.
