What’s New & Improved - Update 0.19.0
Update 0.19.0 introduces Great Cardsby, a brand-new solitaire game for Timeless Solitaire Collection.
We’ve always loved solitaire games, but until now our game included timeless classics. With Great Cardsby, we wanted to create our own tribute to the genre.
Inspired by Calculation Solitaire, FreeCell, and Klondike, Great Cardsby combines familiar mechanics into a fresh strategic challenge. It rewards careful planning, smart sequencing, and creative use of limited space.
Rules
• Foundations (top): Build up by suit from Ace → King. All Aces are dealt to the foundations automatically at the start.
• The position of a foundation determines the tableau gap rule for cards of that suit: cards beneath them must descend by 1, 2, 3, or 4 ranks depending on whether the suit belongs to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th foundation.
Example: cards beneath the suit of the 1st foundation descend by 1 rank (Q → J), while cards beneath the suit of the 4th foundation descend by 4 ranks (K → 9).
• Tableau (center): Build down using the gap rules defined by the foundations. The required rank difference depends on the suit of the top card.
• Free cells (left and right): Hold one card each for temporary storage.
• Stock pile (bottom left): Draw additional cards when no more tableau moves are available.
• Win by building all foundations to King.
Great Cardsby is a new original solitaire experience that blends classic ideas into something both familiar and entirely new.
