I can’t believe I didn’t remember to post this when it was first launched last week!
Puzzmo just turned 3 years old, and to celebrate, they released Not Solitaire.
It’s like Klondike solitaire, but “draw 2.” Additionally, there are achievements and you can see 2 other people playing at the same time (and celebrate their wins).
It got addicting enough to me that I’m happy they added a “daily limit” setting so I can limit how many deals I can play per day.
I have 128 wins, 313 achievements, and I’ve witnessed my neighbors win 255 times.
Puzzmo has a lot of other daily games, some you can play for free (tbh I play a lot of their mini crossword), but they also have a “7-day binge pass” you may be able to check out from Hoopla or your library to play the archives or all of the games.
I’d love to hear if anyone else plays Puzzmo games, or have found/played “not solitaire”.
I enjoy Puzzmo games every day - most of them, anyway, as I don't play the poker or chess puzzles often. I've enjoyed not solitaire a fair bit since it came out but have had to purposely limit...
I enjoy Puzzmo games every day - most of them, anyway, as I don't play the poker or chess puzzles often. I've enjoyed not solitaire a fair bit since it came out but have had to purposely limit myself because I found myself playing a little mindlessly and that's not why I enjoy doing puzzles. The conscious appreciation of working through a puzzle is part of the charm.
For being just (not) solitaire, the game runs very poorly on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+. I've seen people play Fortine on this tablet. I guess this is the state of software now. I also find the...
For being just (not) solitaire, the game runs very poorly on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+. I've seen people play Fortine on this tablet. I guess this is the state of software now.
I also find the achievements generated by the other players very distracting. It feels they added them to make the game addictive for the sake of it, without any proper satisfaction (actually achieving something).
Agreed on the distraction, all the flashing on screen actively put me on edge. Though, I guess they're part of being not solitaire, since some of the achievements seemed to be related to other...

There is the option in settings to hide achievements until you complete a deal. But yeah I think they have a bit too many “early” achievements that definitely spam the screen a bit at the start.

25 wins! Loving this. It’s super slick, and I love that I can run it right in my browser on the phone.
The social stuff is neat, but I think what keeps me coming back is that it’s draw two. Single draw always feels a little rote, while draw three can feel too punishing.
Last time I saw Solitaire it was on Windows XP and child me loved to see the cards go brrrrrrrrrrrrrr. This is a delight and it's fun to finally learn how this game works lol. Thank you for posting!

I haven’t played solitaire since Windows 95. Thanks for the nostalgia trip! Played 2 games. Took me 12 minutes to beat the first one. Shows how long it’s been for me.

I played a bunch of games earlier. Got over 100 achievements, and read maybe 5 of them...
