Neat concept - a web remake of a classic Windows game. I found it very hard to win though, due to the "draw three" rule. I finally won on my 12th shuffle.
Aside from this web game implementation, in past decades I grew tired of solitaire and its constrained nature. I found myself enjoying spider solitaire a bit more, where you have to be more strategic about building stuff. I discovered spider because it's bundled with Windows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider_(solitaire)
For "Solitaire Together" instead, I recommend the game NERTS (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1131190/NERTS_Online/). It's a multiplayer competitive solitaire game by Zachtronics. Out of all the games I've played, it's the one that stresses me out and takes me through emotional rollercoasters the most.

Beautiful. I've always loved the aesthetic of Windows Solitaire [a] but felt strangely alone when playing it (figures). I'm reminded of a non-solitary solitaire, Nerts Online:

a. And this version too, the backs of the cards are very pretty.
Found this a couple of months ago and it's the best I tried yet: https://worldofsolitaire.com
If you click Start > Shut Down and click OK, it’ll say “it is now safe to close this tab”, which I thought was a nice touch.
So cool! Since there are some solitaire fans on this thread. Thought I would share a version that build with 2 decks https://d6.belsonbox.com
There is something weirdly fascinating about this. I think the combination of nostalgia, seeing others play without interacting and just the whole idea of it. Rather mesmerizing. Well done.
Was solitaire always this hard, or have I forgotten how to play this game? I tried a few games and failed every time :)
This is fun! I like the vibe of doing solitary activities in the “company” of other strangers. It’s neat. I like the screen saver
Oh boy, this is sooooo addictive.
Look, I don’t mind it but let us know - are you training some model on our inputs ? :)
Love the screensaver
I love these windows emulators
SAT! Solitaire Alone Together!
Wrong solitaire :(
I was hoping for the "all cards visible and one free slot to put a card in"
absolutely delightful. i happily added it to my 'games' bookmark folder.
I can't suggest moves, though! >smile<
Always carry a deck of cards when hiking in the wilderness. If you become lost deal a game of solitaire. In a few minutes someone will come up and start suggesting moves.
