About
A Solitaire Mystery is a collection of over 20 unusual solitaire cardgames, ranging from somewhat standard rulesets playable with a traditional deck of cards to mysterious experimental takes on the genre and funky reimplementations of other games in solitaire form. Among other things, ASM makes you grow and harvest plants, defeat eldritch monsters, perform alchemy and play poker over the course of its solitaires.
Each solitaire included has a difficulty rating, and each solitaire tracks your victory streak so that if you enjoy a particular entry a lot, you can try to go for multiple victories in a row! The game is fully mouse-driven, and includes settings to e.g. enable more lenient undoing and utilize a specified random seed to allow trying the same deal multiple times, or even share it with your friends.
A Solitaire Mystery was included in the 2025 Experimental Games Workshop at the Game Developers' Conference.

Hempuli's talent for UX design is rivalled only by his penchant for simple, intuitive, easily understandable rulesets. Which is to say, he lacks either.

A wonderful collection of 30 solitaires all with unique tricks and strategies. Whereas the classic Klondike variant of solitaire shipped with Windows tests your observational skills, all 30 modes in A Solitaire Mystery demand forward thinking and creativity to solve its unusual challenges. While I do love playing Klondike solitaire I was quite relieved to find out how puzzle-y and strategic this game is. Although A Solitaire Mystery's gamemodes are based around playing cards (of different types) not all game modes are replicable in real life. Without being constrained by the physical limitations of playing cards, A Solitaire Mystery is able to offer some really fun and unique challenges. Some favourite modes of mine include a solitaire about time travel, a solitaire based around the mechanics of Baba Is You, and a solitaire inspired by alchemical transmutation. While some solitaires are duds (looking at you Solitairdle), the game modes are overwhelmingly quality and worth playing. If you're on the fence, two of the solitaire variants are available on the developer's itch.io as a sampler.
some of the solitaires in this are really cool, but the app itself lacks even the most basic QOL features that you can get in literary every other solitaire app. its also really ugly. like half of the solitaires in this are buggy, unfun and really convoluted. also very badly explained. some of them are great though and i keep coming back to them. Still, this is only for hardcore solitaire fanatics.
If you like the [i]Zachtronics' Solitaire Collection[/i] then you'll mostly likely enjoy [i]A Solitaire Mystery[/i]. It's not easy, but it's very creative! I keep meaning to go back to the ones I've already beaten, but there are still so many I haven't tried yet. I counted 30 different ones. Imagine a sequel to [i]Zach's Solitaire[/i] with [i]Balatro[/i]'s music and [i]Baba Is You[/i]'s fonts.
This is the best solitaire game on Steam (tied with Zachtronics Solitaire).
Remarkable twists on the traditional solitaire. Leaves you questioning your own intelligence and the basic rules of physics and logic. 10/10
Ok, apparently this is the UFO50 of solitaire. Made by the Baba Is You guy, explicitly gives thanks to Zachtronics in the credits, it has STYLE and PIXELS. I put off trying it because apparently it is still quite buggy, but that was a mistake, and maybe a lot of the bugs are related to undo, and you can just... turn that off?
Very different to most Solitaire alternatives (Zachtronics etc.) Each variation has a very esoteric and lateral ruleset. Some have relatively achievable win states but others are incredibly obtuse in their internal logic. A good game if you are excited by the opportunity of unpacking and deciphering difficult and unfriendly game laws. I have read the rules for some of the games and still have no idea how to play. It's all very well put together and the presentation is great but this is not for those who want a casual game of solitaire. Be warned. Having said that, I've managed to get a win in a few of the different variations and it feels really satisfying.
変わったソリティア詰め合わせです。レトロゲーム風音楽(FM音源風?)はとても雰囲気があってよいです 2026/1/7時点で種類は20種、日本語非対応です。英語が読めないとルール説明が理解できないので厳しいかも 実際のトランプで再現可能なものも再現できないものもあり、メニューから確認することができます 所詮はソリティアなので多くは似たり寄ったりで攻略パターンも似てたりします しかし、その中にもいくつか光るものがありました エルドリッチと戦ったり、野菜を育てたり、殺人事件を推理したり、タイムマシーンでパラドクスを回避したり 数字とマークだけのトランプでここまで想像力を掻き立てられるゲームを作れるのは素直に感心します ただ、面白そうな期待感は感じるもののソリティアという制約のためかあと一歩のところで飛びぬけることができてない印象です。MURDER MYSTERYなどゲームの種類の中にトランプ外のシステム依存するものがありますが、そういうのにもっと思い切り頼っていいのでは?と思います 今後のアップデートで化けるのに期待 難易度は優しいもの多めですがそれなりに難しいものもあります。普通のソリティア感覚で暇つぶしにプレイするのも全然アリです。ソリティアファンなら買って損は無し ■2026/4/16追記 まだ確かめてはいませんがバージョン1.15.11でBABA IS SOLITAIREのバグは直ったようです。もしそうなら安心してお勧めできるようになりました
