Card solitaire "Desire"
This isn't your typical solitaire. The board is scattered with cards, some lying face down. Your goal is to pair them up, but you can only match cards sharing a suit or a consecutive value. Getting rid of all cards is the win condition. The real depth comes from those hidden cards. Each one you flip could create a much-needed match or leave you stuck. Thinking ahead is vital as you choose which concealed card to reveal. The pastel palette and calm card design make for a relaxed but brain-teasing session.
