I always wanted to publish some sort of game, and I lowered that hurdle for myself to Solitaire-level. ;) While the gameplay is just standard solitaire, you get to enjoy these card designs I came up with. Enjoy! :D

It’s an intriguing concept, I’ll give it that!

My one critique would be that (as of this writing) not all cards have images. Is that intentional?
Better out than in, I always say.

It is. So there is still room for future characters to be added.

Nice try :D but I am not going to give away future characters just like that. I will tell you, however, that the Ace of Spades is already reserved for someone. 8-)

Very well… I’ll leave you to your secrets.

Also, earlier today, there were full-art versions of each card, but for whatever reason, that option isn’t available anymore.

What you saw is yet another card deck I am working on, but I found some flaws that I did not like and removed it for now. It will be back eventually.

Fair fair

Maybe in the future, once all the cards have art on them, there can be more games to play, like Poker.

*gasp* Imagine, you’re playing Poker with other TGS gals, but if you lose, you sink under in a bog!

I know the answer is probably no, but any chance we’ll be able to see the cards in their separate gallery in greater detail?

I've played, and I have a lot to say. I never thought I would write about what's wrong with solitaire :D Besides what's listed in the game description, it's also a little annoying that sometimes the cards are collected in the top decks. It made me 1 time so that I could not pass the game. Is there any way to disable this?

I saw a similar question on dA, and I am considering adding a sort of gallery mode in game, which you would be able to unlock by winning.

And I never thought I would ever implement solitaire before I started this project :D Actually, cards should only be automatically collected in the top discard piles if all the cards that could potentially be placed on them are already up there as well. So it seems you have encountered a bug. Do you recall which card was put there prematurely? or at least its suit? And yes, I think I may add an option to disable this convenience feature.
