Solitaire's Journey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitaire%27s_Journey

Basically a 1992 rogue-lite where each room is a different solitaire game. eg: front parlor == clock solitaire, first bedroom == regular solitaire, upstairs is blocked by freecell, etc...

It's a fairly rich concept, you have a ton of different gameplay bound together by a very loose plot/quest mechanisms (eg: blue key == blue door ; boss == win 2 games of solitaire).

Definitely worth sharing if you've got some solitaire fans in your life!

Wow this is amazing! I love this bit from the Wikipedia article:

"In 1996, Computer Gaming World declared Solitaire's Journey the 72nd-best computer game ever released."

The bar has moved up a tad I think :D

Is there a but or maybe I don't know the rules. Sometimes I can't put a long sequence J 10 9 8 7 ... on a Q

Yeah classic FreeCell only lets you move one card at a time. No stacks. A lot of FreeCell implementations have a QoL feature that let you move stacks if there's enough free cells or empty columns to allow the move.

Ah I see, I get it now.
