This looks easy

I like the look of this to play in a small space like a tray - maybe even a flight tray but that could be too small???

Gosh this looks fiendish with hidden (face down) cards and runs blocked by later deals of 10 cards. But it is attractive to me - i do fancy playing a game with 2 sorts of sequences - natural (all cards move) and standard (top card only moves). Bet the game could be made more winnable by having fewer hidden (or face down) cards. I might experiment...

Does anyone know if there's a ranking for degree of difficulty of a tableau? Like Sudoko, for example, has Easy, Med, Hard, Fiendish rankings? Such a system sure could be devised.... a We know the Aces (and other low cards) being in "lower" rows is helpful etc etc. b. I can see a difficulty being calculated numerically - as cards have numerical value (rank) and rows could be numbered 1-7 easily....

Can increase chances of winning by creating a pack to play with of 8 ranks only. That means every rank has an even number (4) of cards present Or select 14 pairs of cards of the same rank. That means every rank included has an even number (2 or 4) of cards present

Good stuff. Good one to teach the kids 👏👍

TY. Interesting. Reminds me of Aces Up in terms of the tableau set up. And of Klondike in terms of game play with tableau, waste pile and the stockpile of face down cards.

Wow! Congratulations on fitting that in and meeting the challenge of producing a good vid tutorial of such a huge game. I must admit I'm not ready to try that one yet 😂

This is the first time i have seen any 2 pack game. I wonder which of the 2 pack games you've done tutorials for is the most winnable? Btw. I like Frog as you present because even if you lose the whole game you've still completed some Foundations

Confession. As a way in to playing this i made winning easier in two ways... 1. Setting the foundation in position when dealing (like is done in Penguin*) 2. Dealing 9 columns rather than 8. This gives more accessible cards and fewer inaccessible * only in FreeCell the foundation is always the Ace)

Tremendous. This looks a real teaser of a strategy game to exercise the grey matter. A great counterpoint to say the default solitaire: Klondike. Thanks; and love it!

Love this. It feels like Klondike in that winning depends more on luck (how the cards deal) than skill (beyond basic spotting of moves which experienced players pretty much fully master). Is that how others see it?

This game feels like a good path to FreeCell, which I have seen but not played. This game seems to have much in common with FreeCell, specifically 1. manoeuvring visible cards individually, 2. using "free areas - cells or columns strategically to do that manoeuvring. Indeed the FreeCell rule that you can move blocks of cards 1 bigger in total than the number of free cells applies to free columns in this game even if not formally stated in the vid...

I'm really taken with this game. The early moves are a great brain teaser as they need to be smart and after that, if they are dine right, its faster and easier to complete a win. Does anyone have a sense of how much you win (with experienced/ good play)? I'm fairly confident it is not every time. It feels like you win more often than you lose from a bit of playing... perhaps 2 out of 3 games ???

Love this! Will call it "Developers Pyramid" and teach the kids how to play. I'll keep idiot out of the name - I don't want them to see losing as idiotic. Its just about learning and having fun; not about judgement and labelling. Especially with the kids

Wow! This is great. Very happy to add it to my portfolio. Bit of a teaser getting the unwinds right 😮😂😊

Great game. The win frequency can be adjusted. A couple of comments expressed frustration at how rare wins were. I found similar! But by having one row (not two) of face down cards it gets easier. Also by having nine (not seven) columns it gets even easier still. I won about 2/5 games with those two changes*. Much more satisfying to me personally. I hope that helps others... * a trial of 20 games with the two adjustments gave me 8 wins (or 2/5 more simply expressed). Whereas i reckon i won no more than 1 in say 25 with the set up exactly as video (altho i wasn't keeping count at that stage!)

Great vid and channel. Thanks

What a great name for a game 👏👏👏

Is there another name for this game? When I Google Idiots Delight most of the other versions are quite different. Just trying to find more info. Thanks!

By far I have tried Idiot's Delight, Klondike, Little Spider, Spider Solitaire, Calculation, Monte Carlo, Accordion and FreeCell! FreeCell has been my absolute favourite out of those! I've won 3 games so far, they all took me 20-25 mins in average. An absolute good time killer! Most importantly, starting is the hardest part with this game, in fact 1 of those 3 games had the aces on the near lowest cards! A note to Card Guy: You should lower or fade the volume of the SFX you play in some of those videos. Because they are a bit loud, they sound a bit out of place. Otherwise, it's a nice addition in such a step-by-step guide! In the accordion one the sfx each time you said "accordion" left me die of laughter. I did recently try solitaire games because I learnt how to play "I Doubt That!" with my friends and I felt I could turn my uno into a 52-deck and it does work really well. Your vids are really well done, I learnt all of the aforementioned games thx to your channel! Keep going! And don't forget my suggestion!

While I did win this one first try, I suggest that, not only should this be played in a 5x5 tableau (so that you can use the deck a bit more on your advantage) but to also have the ability to shuffle the entire tableau (in this case riffle the cards 7 times to maximize the randomization) IF there are still remaining cards on the deck (i did need to do this once and it helped me win).

Dang! I put $10 on blue to win!

Hello card guy, I really enjoy your videos and your way of explaining. But I have got to ask. How do you find all of these card games. Do you have a book or website or something or do you just make them up yourself?

Is there ever a time you can lose the game? It seems not, to me.

This is a great tutorial! TY

33+22=55

44+33=77

Nice to see the red and blue decks working so nicely together!

Free the Beak!

Looks like a fun game. Similar to Freecell but with slight nuances. I'll have to give this one a go sometime.

Well, look who waddled back in here!

I was tought a different game with 1 pack and my grandma called it napoleons tomb

No Table? Now that's notable ...

Challenging!

This game is awesome...ty 🕊

Forgotten how fun this one is!

😂😂😮

First time playing this and I got 15 piles. I was doing so good and then it just started going in an AB pattern of spades and clubs Edit: my second time playing and I only got three piles

I saw another video here about the first game. In that one, if you have a flush (all four cards of the same suite) you discard the four. I like this option as it speeds the game up.

Good afternoon 😊

I always find it interesting how this video of this game gets more views than some of the other videos lol

Best game😊

Love the "unwind!"

Hey card guy, i want a game with 2 decks that is short, fun and a bit complicated.

One question: A player can go sour and gimlet at the same time. The last discard makes a sour and a gimlet in the hand. In this case, we count points for the sour and for the gimlet. It is correct?

At 13:54 the last card should have been discarded. Am I correct?

there are so many versions of solitaire so maybe those are two different ones. I am trying to remember the at least four ways I learned as a child. 🥴

one way I learned in my youth was to lay down eight cards face up...what we did after that I don't remember but I want to teach grandkids ...help please!
