I've just uploaded one of my card games to itch.io if anyone wants to give it a try.

It's really been designed for mobiles but seems to play OK on itch.io

The game was developed using AGK Classic and is part of a collection of card games that includes Tri Peaks, Flipper, Freecell and Spider Solitaire.

Had a little play on this today, Zaxxan.

It plays well and looks nice enough. I wanted to play with one card draw, rather than three (because I'm rubbish) but the option is greyed out - can i do this on a new game? 

Only suggestion I'd make is to have the game tell you when you're screwed. I know it's not always possible to confirm that 100% to the player because ... options,etc. But there are obvious conditions to check for, such as when the player has clicked turn all the way through the cards left and no moves were possible was confirmed in the background on each one.

Possibly some more brief instructions for players who might never have played it before, so they know that only kings can be placed on an empty column, and you build up from aces on the top four card slots.

Other than that it's a nice game.

Hi Xerra,

It is greyed out during a game, you can only change it at the beginning of the game to stop cheating ;)

I will have to try and think of a way of determining if a win is possible. Thanks for your feedback :)
