The next great solitaire game is here, and it's filled with tarot cards and interesting new rules.
earlier this year I've been looking for a new game to play in short sessions every morning or evening: Just a little something to puzzle over during coffee and again to unwind with at the end of the day. I wouldn't have expected to find what I was looking for in a solitaire game, but Zachtronics proved me wrong., which contains eight different solitaire games, Fortune's Foundation is a bit like Freecell… but without the free cells.
The tarot cards, meanwhile, are numbered 0 through 21, and they have their own two foundation piles at the top left. The 0 goes in the first spot, and the 21 goes on the second, and you can build on either pile until they meet in the middle. Meaning, you can place the 1 card on the zero, followed by the 2, but you can also place the 20 on the 21, and then the 19 on the 20.
You can 'park' a single card on the main foundation piles, but it will block any cards from being added there until it's removedIt's really tricky! With so many cards, and so few places to safely move them, I spend most of my time just planning ahead to future moves, unwilling to actually drag and drop a card until I'm sure it will work out. It feels a bit like chess, really, thinking six or seven moves ahead to see what the outcome will be before actually trying something.
