❤ Diverse Solitaire Variants

The collection includes eight unique solitaire games originally designed as mini-games for previous Zachtronics releases, as well as a brand new solitaire variant called Fortune's Foundation. Players can explore a wide range of gameplay mechanics, from the FreeCell-inspired Shenzhen Solitaire to the tile-matching Sigmar's Garden. The asymmetric Proletariat's Patience and the "cheating" Cluj Solitaire offer more unconventional formats that challenge players to think differently about solving solitaire puzzles.

❤ Challenging Gameplay with Limited Assistance

Many of the solitaire variants, except for Fortune's Foundation, lack undo functions or other player assistance features. This design choice forces players to plan their moves carefully before execution, as they cannot simply undo mistakes. Additionally, the games often do not automatically move cards to the foundation piles, requiring players to manage the flow of cards themselves and strategize their next steps meticulously.

❤ Unique Theming and Aesthetics

Each solitaire variant features its own distinct visual style and thematic elements, drawing inspiration from sources such as mahjong tiles, Japanese kabufuda cards, Cold War aircraft, and the Tarot deck. These unique themes and aesthetics not only make the games visually appealing, but also contribute to the overall gameplay experience, as the theming often ties directly into the mechanics and rules of each solitaire variant.

❤ Addictive and Rewarding Gameplay Loop

Players often report becoming quickly addicted to the solitaire games, citing the satisfying feeling of successfully completing a challenging puzzle. The lack of undo functions and other player aids means that each victory feels truly earned, further contributing to the addictive nature of the games. As players master the various solitaire variants, they are often driven to continue playing in pursuit of high win counts and achievements.

❤ The Brand New Tarot-Themed Solitaire: Fortune's Foundation

The standout game in the collection is the brand new solitaire variant, Fortune's Foundation, which uses a full Tarot deck. This game is widely regarded as the most challenging and complex solitaire experience in the collection, as players must not only sort the cards by suit, but also by their Tarot meanings and positions. The game's difficulty and unique mechanics have made it a highlight for many players, who find the sense of accomplishment when finally winning a game to be immensely satisfying.
